Let us tell you about our day. After a uncomfortable night Angela was struggling to breath this morning, so after seeking advice at the cafe where best to receive medical attention, we set of to nearby Craignure to the hospital. Half an hour after arriving she'd been issued with antibiotics and inhaler.
Now on our way along the coast we decided to carry on to a small camping area overlooking Uisken beach. Ten pounds placed in the honesty box, and half a dozen eggs also bought we settled in.
Our route here took us through the mountains, moody in the grey light cast on them from the low cloud. A group of people gathered at the side of the road with binoculars strung around their necks and spotting scopes set up piqued our interest, so we parked up. High in the sky soared a pair of majestic golden eagles. One of them returned to the nest and we were able to observe it through one of the spotting scopes.
This evening we will once again cook on the beach. John is in his element, living the dream. He has his axe, his wood, his fire. Unlike Lochbuie there are only three of us here, just how we like it.
The island of Iona is close by and tomorrow we will move to the campsite near to it. Angela has been told no climbing mountains for a few days, so we'll just enjoy some gentle strolls along the beautiful beaches, collecting firewood now doubt.
We sat on a bench to take a selfie on a bench set up to commemorate Peter & Binkie Norris who camped on this very beach from 1966 to 2016. We feel something in common with them, though our adventures cover a wider area. Selfie taken, we forwarded it as requested to Leo Norris, whom we could only assume was their son. Soon after a thankyou email was returned informing us we had been added to a file of 100's of others whom had sent a photo of themselves on the bench.
