Today was a relatively short drive to the next campsite which will be our base for two nights, yet was quite tiring as we included a decent walk to visit the Bone Caves. First though, was a walk along the path to Suilven. Weather was way better than expected (it rained nearly all night) with lots of sun and good views of a moody Suilven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Done beating tourists, we rolled on to the Bone Caves. Lovely walk up the valley, climbing to reach the caves. Holes in rocks, what can I say, but great views. The route down had a Precipice! moment as it was quite exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A coffee was needed after the 3.3 mile walk and then back on the road to Althandhu and the Port \u00e0 Bhaig campsite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a campsite! Probably one of the best so far and certainly having the best views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
