I leave my bike in the same spot as yesterday. But today I’m heading south, along the minor road that leads down towards Rosemarkie. It’s another beautiful day, and the fields are bright with gorse and rape seed crops.

A fit person would walk from the Cromarty ferry straight down to Rosemarkie, in one day. But, I am no longer a fit person, so I decided to divide the walk up into a number of stages. Each stage is determined by car-parking possibilities, and the first stage will need to be walked backwards!
So, this is how I end up cycling along a minor road to a junction with a track, where I leave my Scooty bike chained up. What a great view over the Cromarty peninsula.

The Nigg ferry is not supposed to start running until the 1st June, but the lady at the campsite told me it had started running early this year. Wonderful!
So, I drive to Cromarty, park the van, and wait for the little ferry to arrive. I LOVE ferries.

I cycle to Hilton of Cadboll, and chain my bike up to a sign that reads, “Balintore, 1 km”. Look back at the shore where I walked yesterday and…

Not wanting to risk the steep road down to Rockfield on my Scooty bike, I leave him chained up in a field at the top of the hill. Start the descent down the road…
… much easier coming down today than going up yesterday! And a lovely view over the village.

I give up my fruitless attempt to spot whales, or dolphins, at the tip of Tarbat ness. Walk down the path hugging the coast, then pick up the access road that runs past the lighthouse.

I’m back in Portmahomack, and it is looking beautiful in the sunshine. Today, I have planned a circular walk around the Tarbat Ness peninsula, so no cycling required!

The forecast was showers in the morning, and sun in late afternoon. So, I decided to have an easy morning lazing around in my little apartment, and go for a short walk later. Inver to Portmahomack is only 4 miles. An easy amble.
It is 4:30pm by the time the showers clear and I arrive in Inver on my Scooty bike, ready to resume my trek.

I catch the bus back to Tain, and it is a short walk through the town down to the shore, where an open green space provides an area to walk and play. I cut across the grass towards the water’s edge.

After a brisk lunch, I set off down the grassy path towards the shore. This is the edge of Dornoch Firth. I am sure it looks more scenic when the tide comes in!
