Today was a recce for a trip I intended doing when me and Sal come up to the Highlands for our September holiday. We will be staying at Balmacara for a week, just a few miles from The Kyle of Localsh which is just down the road.
I intend taking her over The Bealach Ratagain and then on to Glenelg and Arisdale which overlooks Knoydart and Loch Hourn. The bit I wanted to check out was the drive over The Bealach Ratagain so this day out seemed a good excuse to do that and to visit Glen Shiel and Loch Cluanie again as I haven't been to this area for a number of years. I parked up in the viewpoint car park at the top of the bealach and sat at a picnic table to eat the lunch I'd bought in Fort William. The view was absolutely stunning looking towards The Five Sisters Of Kintail.
It was a long day, especially the drive back to Fort William. Thankfully the new cafe was open at The Cluanie Inn so I made a stop off there for a final coffee and a piece of cake. I must admit, I was on auto pilot a bit when I pulled into the carpark of the apartment I was staying in.
