25th September 2021 – 94 miles travelled
Got a really bad weather forecast for this second week, but today is at least supposed to be dry so we decided to try the road out of here in the opposite way to which we arrived and head down to Ullapool for a few hours.
There were some beautiful scenery on the loop road but not many places to stop.
We made a stop at Clashnessie beach, which looked lovely in the sunshine, but it was very windy once we got down on the beach itself. The waves crashing in were huge!
After the beach we drove on through the Geo park and Knocken Crag which was spectacular.
When we got to Ullapool we had a walk along the loch front looking out over Loch Broom, we stopped at a cafe and sat outside for some lunch (sandwich and cake), though it was a bit chilly. Were able to get a phone signal in Ullapool and have decided to book us into a hotel here for the last couple of nights to help make the journey home easier, will take 1 1/5 hours off the first leg of journey home.
We made a stop at Tesco to top up our fresh supplies before heading on the journey back to the cottage.
