30th September 2021 – 92 miles travelled
A bit of a miserable day today weather wise so rather than stay around Ullapool we went for a drive to visit some places we like this way.
We started off driving to Dingwall, which has a nice high street, was bit disappointed to find some of the shops are now shut down but the lovely bakery we remembered was there so got ourselves some cakes. In a little courtyard off the high street we found a lovely little cafe which we went to for some lunch. Gavin had a jacket potato, a bit smaller than what I cook for him! and I had some soup and a roll which was very tasty and perfect to warm us up as bit chilly today.
After some lunch in Dingwall we stopped by Strathpeffer, the pump rooms we visited last time here was closed but we did find the old victorian railway. The line is no longer there but the platform has been turned into shops and a cafe, Gavin was able to pick up a couple of different jams there.
On the way back to Ullapool we had to stop for a train at the crossing in Garve.
The drive back to Ullapool was very scenic and the sun even tried to pop it’s head out between all the clouds.
