Ullapool was back on form and a bit damp when we arrived for the night, before embarking for the Isle of Ewe and the mysterious goings on at Tanera Mor!

And for the original Wicker Man experience get yourself to Tanera Mor:

Ullapool looking as good as ever:

Life aboard ship:

Travelling by improvised, motorised ‘dugout’ we managed to assault several sandbanks on the way up the Firth from the layby just below Redcastle (where there is boat moored currently Aug 2023).

There are a few seals left – maybe 20 – on the river bank right where it meets the sea, but far fewer than back in the day when you could see them on the sand banks from the main road going into Inverness.

Cycling in to see Loch Fannich and the Nest from the Achnasheen road. Very low water levels at the moment – August 2023!

An excellent 33 km walk down and up from Troutbeck to Nyanga by a new route – some notes, maps and more pics here.
