First stop; Ullapool. Visits to the bookshop and usual giftshops. Massive queue at the Lochbroom petrol station, so with 290-odd miles still in the tank, we decided to pass it by and fill up the next day at Gairloch on the way to Applecross (part of day 11).
Leaving Ullapool, we stopped at the Eas Leacach waterfall
before cruising on to the Braemore viewpoint for lunch.
Four or five police cars flew past, which was a little worrying.
We carried on. Further up the road we hit a road block; looked like an incident with a vehicle in the ditch. Road closed to Mellon Udrigle! So this meant a long detour via Kinlochewe and Gairloch!
That’s what should have happened. Instead, had to divert to a 93miles trip.
Finally, we rolled into Mellon Udrigle campsite a little later than planned.
A basic site (no showers or toilets; does have water and chemical toilet disposal), but is really chilled out.
