Log No 81. Sun 14th Jul 2013 - Ivors Bothy to Gairloch, 15 miles (1313 miles walked)

My night in the bothy was uneventful, I thought I might have heard mice scratching around as I had seen some droppings but all was quiet.

After a leisurely breakfast sat at a table I left at 08.20 and, after watching an eagle for a few minutes, followed a good footpath along the top of the cliffs to the Outdoor Centre at the lighthouse.

The weather was the same as yesterday but with a stronger south-westerly wind.

There was a good road from the lighthouse but it was inland a little bit and as it was on a slope I had no views.

Once I got near Melvaig the view did improve slightly.

The best section of the day came when I left the road at North Errsdale and followed a short footpath over the hill to the settlement at Big Sand, which happened to have a big sandy beach.

From here it was back on the road to the campsite at Gairloch.

A short, fairly boring, 15 miles.
