Day 259: Corrachadh Mor to Port Eigin-aig – Volcanic Vestige on New Year’s Day
At Ardnamurchan Point, the wind blows into the foghorn with a continuous eerie low tone. A short walk to Sanna Bay and a group of friends scream in turn while taking a very quick and very cold new year’s day swim before returning to their […]
Day 258: Mingary to Corrachadh Mor – the Most Westerly Point on New Year’s Eve

Day 250: Rubha a’ Chaiginn to Leacraithnaich Bothy – through Glensanda Quarry
I’m hoping I’ll be able to walk through the jetty at Glensanda Super Quarry which is the largest granite quarry in Europe or I’ll have a very long detour away from the coast. The site, surrounded by mountains is only accessible by sea so it’s […]
