Arrived at dunvegan

Well we set off from Edinburgh at just after 10 am and the run up went smoothly. We did do the tourist route through Glen Coe and stopped for lunch surrounded by the majestic mountains in the sun. We drove on through Fort William and stopped again at the monument to the commandos, a very beautiful spot.
We stopped just short of the Skye bridge to take one of the photos below. It is a great bridge.


Once on the island the sun came out again. We drove the route we will the cycling tomorrow and realize that the route takes us up over the top of the island it will be a demanding day.
On arrival we setup the tents (pic below) and headed off up the coast in the car to the coral beach.




We had our dinner on the beach with the cows looking on. The beach turned out not to be the coral beach, it was much further on. See pics below.

We returned to the camp site and went through our kit to try and shave off some weight while the cloud of
midges descended on us. We were glad of the midge nets.

The sun set was lovely and the sea calm.
Well it is going dark at 23:35 so time for bed. Tomorrow the cycle begins.
Night
