Scottish Adventure Day 4

This morning we headed to the imaginatively named “Sand”, made famous by the TV programme “Monty Hall’s Great Escape” about a decade ago. We popped on wetsuits this time and went for another swim. I waded around to the rocks where the water was so calm and clear that I could see flat fish, lion’s mane jellyfish, sand eels, other little fish and loads of different types of crabs in the shallows. I called the others over and we spent so long exploring the fauna that a curious seal popped up behind us to see what we were doing.

On the journey from Applecross around to Gairloch we stopped at a coffee bothy for scones where the owner was expressing dissatisfaction with people using her car park as a picnic spot. Her scones were fabulous though so we didn’t mind her grumbling.

In Gairloch we visited our favourite bookshop / cafe combo in the world before setting up camp for the next few days. This is probably the biggest campsite we’ll be visiting this holiday but we know and love it. The sea breeze keeps the midges down, they have a well appointed shop, cracking views all around and a beach on the other side of the dunes.
