Wow. Halfway point already. Where does the time go?! Problem is, the days are blending into a continuum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after leaving our roadside pitch, the Kylesku bridge was upon us. Very impressive for a modern concrete and steel construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stopped up in Drumbeg for a micro rest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Clashnessie beach and falls was next. Falls were quite impressive even though water levels are still low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Didn’t take a picture of the beach, but did of an old telephone box<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Further down the Mad road, we diverted to Stoer Lighthouse. Fantastic views all round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we rolled into Achmelvich and the Shore campsite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the beach (at the end of the campsite we walked to Hermits Castle). Deceptively small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There’s even a hermit living inside…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

…and there it is…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shore campsite handily has an on-site chip shop. Bonus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
