A good breakfast served up by the slightly strange
(in a good way) proprietor & being optimistic I took the hood off, it immediately started raining
so I put it back on again & we set off, but all was not well. One of our
number had a problem – the chap that worked out most of the routes & had joined
us only the evening before having failed to get all the time off work. He’d
driven his seven all the way from the south coast to Doune along the motorways,
which is not a pleasant way to travel & had arrived saying the clutch in
his car didn’t feel right, so this morning he called the AA & we got a
message saying he was being trailered home. Not much of a road trip for him.
Also in Ft William I collected my second coast. But the clouds stayed low & the drizzle persisted, so I didn’t bother with photos knowing we’d see the eastern sea further north. Eventually we got to Skye & some of the cheapest petrol on the whole trip – at which point it started properly bucketing down. Skye is a land of waterfalls, you don't have to be there to realise what keeps them flowing.
Tomorrow looked brighter on the forecasts, so a plan was hatched to do the short tour of skye first thing. I however had plans of my own......
