From a wet gale in Loch Alsh the weather quickly mellowed to hot hot Scottish sunshine. Anna and I have turned pink. We’ve walked to near the top of the island of Rum and many miles through the hills bordering the Caledonian Canal. (There’s still snow on the flanks of Ben Nevis and Glencoe, though it was too far for us!)
After a rigorous beat south round Ardnamurchan Point, we’ve been blessed with reaches and runs down the Sound of Mull and up Loch Linhe to the Caledonian Canal. I’ll perhaps write more another time but the Caledonian Canal has been a gentle treat with comfortable places to moor, showers and peace: a proper holiday within a more demanding holiday!
