Applecross, Morvech, Kylerhea, Succoth Caves and Skye

[Scots_Charles_River]

Managed to squeeze in a few trips 'out and about' this easter. Was based at Morvech, Glen Shiel. I would not reccommend doing the journey to Applecross, just to see Montys hoose. We were there for the peninusla not for the 'Monty beach'. It's spoilt by the complex 200yds away. Not really remote at all.

Applecross and Bealach na Bo

Scenic Small Harbours 1 mile south of Applecross and Loch Totaig

Culduie Bay and Harbour

The Glenelg to Kylerhea ferry is worth the tenner, great wee experience, help yourself to coffee in the Lighthouse if waiting for the ferry, then when it arrives it's a turntable ferry, the only one in the UK. http://www.skyeferry.co.uk/

Looking back to Glenshiel and Morvech, from the Glenelg Pass (Mam Ratagan 1100ft)

Kylerhea Otter Haven was excellent. As you sit in a hide a few hundred feet above the shore watching the otters fish and swim.

Succoth Caves

Took my nephew around the Succoth caves, great wee trip irespective of the weather.

Yes, great area. Midge by then though. I would reccommend ELGOL, great beach there with great geology.

Great pics Nick

No canoe this time ?

 

[Scots_Charles_River]

Was canoeing but not much as it was very windy. Wanted to paddle to Rhona to camp and boulder, but too windy. Bit windy today up here as well. East coast Haar effecting me.

Just waiting for a lift up to Braemar, some snowboarding at the Lecht tomorrow. Probably sledging at the roadside at Glenshee too.

Saw zero frogspawn at Arrochar ?
