Bye bye Nessie

The 17 miles from Foyer south to Fort Augustus was full of cyclists, pretty fit cyclists, as the route is undulating and very scenic.

Once at At Augustus, we fill up with diesel and supplies and drive North to Invermoriston and turn left along the A887 (A87).  Again we are blessed with good weather and dramatic scenery.

Over the Skye bridge and we witnessed a police car stop on the A87 and perform a 8 point turn, to give chase to a bus!  (It reminded me of that Scottish film - Restless Natives, where two kids on a Suzuki GP100 turn into modern day Robin Hoods).
Anyway we see the Police car stop the bus. But what happens after is anyone's guess.

On to Skye via the bridge and lunch at a cafe in Dunvegan.  Venison salad for me and toasted sandwiches for the others.

The campsite is at the other end of the village and most expensive yet at £39 for the night.  Pitch is right on the waters edge we views down to the castle and back to the village.



One thing about Skye, is that the skyscapes dominate the dramtic scenery. Constantly changing and always demanding your attention.

Dunvegan, is a bit a shanty town, that sits on the estery.  Village shop, multiple B&Bs, oldest Island bakery and a dodgy looking museum.

In the morning Woody and I take in a circular village walk, which gives fantastic views back to the Cuillins.
