On the way to Fort William…
I am on my way to Dunbar, today, via Fort William and Perth. The road from Kyle to Fort William was very dramatic – the weather just added that little be extra to the view.

Afternoon at the campsite
It has been a grey windy afternoon, with the hills opposite the site obscured by cloud.
It was the right choice to put the back of my tent into the wind – a few tents on the site that chose to pint their tents at the view have been battered by the strong winds with two of the being blown down. I have shot some video of my tent in the wind which I will post when I leave 1985 and move back into the 21st century and the Internet!

Camp cooking
I had planned a cashew nut noodle curry for tea tonight – then a Fish and Chip Van turned up at the campsite.
So I had very good haddock and chips, sitting in the back of my car, watching a movie on my iPad.
Breakfast – again
I drove out again this morning to find somewhere more interesting to have my breakfast.
Neist Point
I walked out to Neist Point and the lighthouse. It is pretty remote for Skye – not many houses, lots of sheep and seagulls and the best 3G I have had on this side of the island!
Once down on the rocks taking photographs, I spent an hour or so watching 7 or 8 basking sharks feeding. Some getting reasonably near to the cliffs where I was standing.

I have some video of the sharks that I will upload later.
Breakfast
There was a lot of early activity at the campsite with people setting off for home at the end of their holiday. So to avoid that and the midges I drove down the coast, through Dunvegan, and parked where I had a good view to eat my croissants, jam and fresh coffee.
