Day 7: Scourie to Shore Campsite (Achmelvich)

Wow. Halfway point already. Where does the time go?! Problem is, the days are blending into a continuum!

Soon after leaving our roadside pitch, the Kylesku bridge was upon us. Very impressive for a modern concrete and steel construction.

On from Kylesku was the turning for the Mad Wee Road. Definitely mad – single track, up and down and quite steep in places. For miles.

Stopped up in Drumbeg for a micro rest

Clashnessie beach and falls was next. Falls were quite impressive even though water levels are still low.

Didn’t take a picture of the beach, but did of an old telephone box

Further down the Mad road, we diverted to Stoer Lighthouse. Fantastic views all round.

Returning to the ‘main’ road, we stopped further along at Strone view point. From here, there were cracking views of Suilven.

Finally, we rolled into Achmelvich and the Shore campsite.

From the beach (at the end of the campsite we walked to Hermits Castle). Deceptively small.

There’s even a hermit living inside…

…and there it is…

Shore campsite handily has an on-site chip shop. Bonus!
