Check out was 11am so we decided to stay until then, by which time the sunshine was trying to push through.
A quick walk around the town and two failed attempts to get our passport stamped, we eventually called at the museum where we were told we were the first to use their new stamp.
Back on the road heading further north we took a detour from the NC500 to Achiltibuie, a fifteen mile single track road with passing places. The scenery is so barren but somehow beautiful as well. There are few people living in this area, but at Achiltbuie a shop selling everything including fuel stamped our passport and sold us lunch. Big plus, blue sky and no rain.
The wild North West coast
At Lochinver we searched for someone to stamp the passport, even trying the famous Roux family restaurant, who according to our book should have had a stamp but didn’t. A B&B far up a single track were happy to stamp us and again said we were the first this year.
At Clachtoll a winding wooden path leaves to a very pretty beach
The beach had a lone person and dog on it while the sea lashed the rocks.
At Stoer Point stands a lighthouse with a To Rent sign on it... now that would be a different place to stay!
Our home for the night is Croft 338 Drumbeg B&B and we were given a most warm welcome.
Tomorrow we will reach the North coast.
