A very hot day…….on Sail Mhor

July 23, 2014

Sail Mhor 767m   Ruigh Mheallain 594m

We must have been mad really as the day was so hot but it was a great hill to goo up even if we did select the direct route! After we came down we went to Ullapool had a fish and Chips tea at the Seaforth and then parked near a lighthouse and saw the most amazing sunset. A great final day.

After a wedding at Eilean Donan Castle we set of on a road trip up the West Coast. Calling at potential jewellery outlets, taking photographs and going on walks and up mountains. Our first night was a midgy night on Skyle along the road to the old ferry. We went from there to Plockton and then up the blealoch na ba where we parked for the night. We had an evening walk up Sgurr a’Chaorachain.
