The first nights camp for me at the Red Squirrel campsite Glencoe. We all now know why they allow campfires.

http://www.xrv.org.uk/getimage.php?id=1413

They heard we were coming.

http://www.xrv.org.uk/getimage.php?id=1412

A Slight detour to Eilean Donnan Castle for those of us not passed this way before.

http://www.xrv.org.uk/getimage.php?id=1410

Back to Shiel Bridge and over the pass to Glenelg and the Kylerhea Ferry.

http://www.xrv.org.uk/getimage.php?id=1411

Then on across Skye to catch the sun setting over the next camp at Flashader.

http://www.xrv.org.uk/getimage.php?id=1414

The next day we had a good run around the north of the island, with a visit to Neist point, the islands in the distance are the Hebrides.

http://www.xrv.org.uk/getimage.php?id=1407

Some of us found the going a little tiring.

http://www.xrv.org.uk/getimage.php?id=1352

The group then split for the journey south. Myself, XRV Jim and Fewtree’s continuing the adventure.

It was then decided to ride out to the Ardnamurchan peninsula
and visit its lighthouse.

Sheep poo does burn when wood supplies run out.

To save time we took the ferry over to Mull from Kilchoan to Tobermory.

What’s the story in ‘Balamory’ today.
It was a great breakfast and GPS lessons from Fewtree’s before we travelled south to catch another ferry to Oban.

http://www.xrv.org.uk/getimage.php?id=1351

The trip had tired my fellow travellers.
