Tuesday 25th June – walk **** cloudy
The forecast sunny calm day didn’t materialise but it wasn’t raining so
we had a nice day. Started off at the Co-op then went round the island and
parked at the same place I came ashore yesterday – Sandaig. We walked
along the beach and over the rock pools seeing lots of eider ducks surfing
in the waves! We climbed up onto the cliff – Kenavara via a crevice just
below where lots of fulmars were nesting. Climbed over the fence to reach
the top and had our lunch looking out over beaches either side – Sandaig
and Balephuil. We saw sheep being rounded up by a quad bike and walked
through a field of young bullocks which were giving us the look as we
passed and then one started to run towards us! Mag hates walking through
them at the best of times so got really spooked! I hurt my arthritic big
toe going up the cliff and could hardly walk back to the van along the
beach :( We made it back and had a cuppa, read and dozed – I really went
off for a couple of hours! Drove through Moss to see the standing stones .
Had a quick look at Balevullin before going to pick up the fish and chips
from Scarinish. The lady who used to run the Elephant’s end, where we
had a meal last time we were here has a catering van in the car park of the
Co. Back to Peter and Sally’s to eat our treat and spend the evening
chatting :) The most ridiculous thing we saw today was a lamb standing on
a thatched cottage roof!!!
