Back at the turn-off to the Stoer lighthouse, I stash my Scooty bike behind the village hall, chain it up and return to the road. No lighthouse today, instead I’m sticking to the main road and heading northwards. Time to get going.

It’s just gone 1pm when I reach Clachtoll. I walk down a lane to the beach, climb high onto a grassy knoll, and eat my picnic lunch. What a view.

I walk across the pale sands of Achmelvich Beach, and stop on the far slope to take a photograph looking back across the little bay. What a beautiful beach. And, there’s my campsite on the other side.

I cycle to Lochinver, and chain my Scooty bike up in the car park, then walk along the main road towards the bridge over the River Inver. What a lovely old bridge.

I study the little map. Culag wood is a community wood, managed by local people and the paths look quite straightforward. I will head towards the sea, and pick up the path called “Billy’s Path”, which should take me up and into the harbour area.

I cycle along the “wee mad road” from Lochinver to the parking spot overlooking Loch Buine Moire. Leave my bike chained up behind a gorse bush…
… pull on my hi-vis vest, and manage to snap a selfie. (I’m getting good at these!)

This morning, I first drive and then cycle along a terribly beautiful but treacherous road – full of steep hills, blind bends, unexpected twists and turns. Finally, I arrive back at yesterday’s unofficial parking place. Throw my Scooty bike in the ditch, adjust my high-vis vest, and sling my rucksack over my shoulders.

I was planning to drive round to Culnacraig and finish the Postie’s walk today, by walking from there to the cairn where I ended my previous attempt. BUT… of course there was going to be a BUT… the weather is even worse today, with driving rain and a swirling wind.
So, here I am, back at the Drumrunie turn-off. I stow my bike behind a green shed, and snap a photo. That’s the road I will walk down today – a narrow, single-track road that threads its way along the side of a long valley.

I’m back at the turn-off to Blughasary. But I’m not attempting the Postie’s walk today.

Yesterday was full of gorgeous sunshine and warmth. This morning, I wake to a gloomy sky. Never mind – it’s perfect walking weather. This is the view from my camping pitch.
I drive to my end-point for the day (more on that later) and cycle back to the campsite, chain up my Scooty bike, and begin my walk, starting along the A835.
