Beautiful photos and looks like rather changeable conditions! I walked in to and through Knoydart but followed the track along the north shore of Loch Morar to Tarbet (from Arisaig), rather than the more northerly route I see you took. Looks like a tough walk though Knoydart was the toughest part of the coast I’ve done.
Yes, it was all four seasons within minutes. It was very rough ground, following the actual coastlien from Mallaig is next to impossible so following the high ground was the closest walkable option. Knoydart is all about superlatives!
God, Scotland is so beautiful. Great photos!
The rain and the midgies are the beauty tax!
Wow, such fantastic photos! Having lived in Edinburgh for three years, I can safely say that Scotland is beautiful throughout the year, no matter the season 🤗 can’t wait to go back one day
Thanks! My walk through Scotland was over two years in all four seasons and I can certainly agree with you!
What a beautiful picture of Rhum.I remember about five years back on a brilliantly clear February day walking from Mallaig to Morar and waiting,a thankfully long wait as trains are infrequent perhaps as they should be,for the Fort William train and out at sea Rhum and Eigg with Venus and the thin crescent 🌙 Moon above them.One of those magical moments.
Thanks, that does sound magical. Back in Wales, I had a memorable camp below Venus with a distant view to Ireland (pic at the end of this day) https://theperimeter.uk/2017/02/02/day-119-porth-y-dwfr-to-penbwchdy-venus-beacon/
Many fond memories of the stars and planets interacting with the Earth on hikes too many too remember.Had one two nights ago at Commondale in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.At 0535 the sky cleared leaving Orion and Sirius blazing away mid sky.Another Scottish one was getting off the overnight sleeper at Arrochar and Tarbet, the station is actually in Tarbet, and walking to Arrochar to get the Scottish Citylink bus to the place where the Gigha ferry goes from and Jupiter was blazing away in the pre dawn sky(it was winter so didn’t get light until later).
Magic! The sky is always the best part of the landscape.
A wonderful set of images, coupled with some tough walking and some guts to do that route alone.Lovely to see Rum again, having lived there in the 70s.
Thanks, Pete the island must stay in your soul if you lived there once – very hard to shake off I would imagine.
Yes I suppose Rum is now part of me, certainly a very special place to live for a while (I wish I had taken more B&W images) but talking of soul – your walk around the coast will be pretty unforgettable. I just wonder what the next challenge will be…
I’m still in the middle of the editing marathon so no grand plans for the time being. I do an all-day walk weekly, normally in Wales, and a week-long trail such as the South Downs Way every couple of months.
Great photos especially the rainbow ones
Thanks, One never has to wait to long for those in Knoydart!
