Day 7…. Clachtoll …. It’s gneiss to see you.
After a lovely couple of days in Kinlochewe we set off on the next leg of our trip. The majority of the the journey was straightforward. We resisted stopping at The Midge Bite cafe. As we approached Ullapool there was a lot of traffic coming in the opposite direction, we guessed a ferry had just…

Day 5 A memorable journey to Kinlochewe

Day 0
Why day zero? When we originally planned our trip day 1 involved a long drive to Bunree, south of Fort William. However having decided that was too far to drive the motorhome in one go, I am writing this from Collier Hall Farm south of Glasgow, 2 miles from the M74. The van is well…
