I leave my bike hidden in a ditch at the top of the hill. The two red cars I saw yesterday are still there and I assume the walkers must be wild camping somewhere in the wilderness. On closer inspection, the cars look a little dilapidated. Have they been abandoned? It’s a mystery.

I leave my Scooty bike chained to a signpost in the parking spot above Drumbeg. What a beautiful view for my bike to admire, while he waits for me to finish my walk and return.
It is another stunning summer’s day, with clear blue skies and great visibility. I’m not the only one admiring the view this morning – a bevy of motorbikes has arrived, and a couple of touring cyclists are having breakfast on one of the picnic benches.

The road makes a sharp, almost right-angled bend, around the tip of a marshy estuary where the Oldany River empties into a sea loch. When I cycled past this morning, the tide was high and the estuary looked delightful. It’s still very prettty. I stop to take photographs.

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.
