Knoydart Trip - Day 5 - Skye

Blogging at 21:15 on Friday 20th September from intended overnighting spot:
N 57.19886°, W 05.80577° / http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:57.19886%2C-05.80577

Things to remember:
  • Not much!
  • Really lazy day on Skye with repeated park-ups, tea drinking and nature watching. Only really came here to do the (new-to-Skye) parkrun tomorrow.
  • Another incredibly sunny and settled day surrounded by fantastic landscapes. It was fun to look back over to Knoydart to see the epic bog-trek I endured yesterday from a different perspective.
  • If you don't count hundreds of grey seals, I've not seen much nature-wise, with a possible whimbrel and some redpolls being the most interesting.
  • Took the time to check out an ancient graveyard in the grounds of a ruined church. As well as some truly grand tombs I found three more Commonwealth war graves.
  • I spite of the time of year, the number of VW T5-T6s is astounding. There are still plenty of flimsies and PVCs around, too.
  • To avoid the shitfest of mixing it with the above I've winkled out what will hopefully prove an unmolested spot (pic) by dint of some creative gate opening: and closing behind me...
