Ullapool 2
Sunday, July 28th, 2013A lazy Sunday morning in Ullapool as the rain comes down, admittedly a bit more exciting than planned as I just managed to prevent the tent going up flames. Gas stoves and tents not a good combination !.
Have enjoyed Ullapool, small but quaint located on the edge of Lock Bloom and surrounded by hills. Spent yesterday walking up and around these hills for a few hours and the sun stayed out so made for a pleasant day. Even the nightlife been more active than expected with a band from Southampton playing in one pub on Friday and another pub had a disco last night. Even a seal came in to the harbour to say hello.
In the bigger picture what should be a trip tomorrow towards the big mountains of Torridon and Kintail has had to be abandoned as need to return home. Sad as love this region and so much more to see but needs be. Even the dreaded midges haven’t been as bad as expected bar the first night in Ullapool and
weather generally good and the highlands without rain and mist just wouldn’t seem right.
Admittedly Friday had a massive storm which left some tents with their own ensuite swimmingpool.
So until next time……
