Viewing the Minch

 Now on our way back down, albeit very slowly, time had come again for another mountain day.

Our first mountain of the day was Spidean Coinich with its super impressive views of the sea, called the Minch, just off the coast. Having not had any internet access the night before, the summit of the mountain was the place we needed to find a shower for the evening and low we found a lovely cheap campsite just round the bay. However, we did need to check in relatively soon before they closed so sadly we cut short the other two mountains of the day. 

An example of the Danni style of hiking: the carefree amble. 

Rob on the other hand has a far more determined gait.

And then you have the class Danni stare. Usually at a waterfall or perhaps a highland cow.

Very achy after a busy active day we pulled into Clachtoll campsite, our first official campsite of the trip, for a bit of a treat.

Since you have to book two nights at once for the campsite we thought we'd have a further treat and sleep in the same place twice, the first time doing so for nearly 2 weeks.

The super lovely campsite also had the benefit of free to use water sport equipment. Quickly dismissing the receptionists concerns about the choppiness of the sea, we borrowed two kayaks and proceeded to fall into the Minch on several occasions.

Changing tact we opted instead to borrow some equipment that gets you less soggy: the binoculars.
