Thursday 2nd
The Northernmost tip of the island...


10:31. Well again the morning wasn't such great weather, so Alex was prompted to play the blues. Literally.

10:34. Chie doing a spot of drawing I believe.

14:50. After lunch we thought we'd venture out to the northern most tip of the island.

15:08. The northernmost house on the island, at the edge od Howlins.

15:10. An old ruined farmhouse.

15:12. Chie negotiates surprisingly wet ground.

15:14. Very dramatic looking! I like it anyway.

15:17. Chie is almost buried by the bracken.

15:19. Phew, that was hard work.

15:31. Going up over the Coll (I think this means saddle).

15:31. A bit of Rum over there.

15:33. Interesting spiky bit at the end of the ridge.

15:36. Here's the party of three brave (?!) people who ventured to the north. Camera is balanced on a rock if I recall correctly...

15:41. Strange landscape here.

15:47. Well the weather was definitely improving, a view right across to Skye here.

15:56. Lots of rocks mainly. But very interesting ones.

16:20. A rock out in the sea covered by gulls.

16:20. More gulls further down the beach were we paused for Ginger Nuts. The point in the distance is the northernmost tip.

16:22. Blimey, this rock here is bigger than Rum.

16:41. Hmmm looks very grey!

16:48. Taken whilst I was standing on the northernmost tip of the island.

16:51. Me on aforementioned tip.

16:53. There it is! Plus you can just about see a seal's head in the water...

17:12. On the way back now.

17:34. Pause for a well earned drink atop the Coll.

17:56. That house again!

19:02. I really liked this standing stone.

19:08. There's the Glebe!

21:00. Later on that evening, on the way down to the beer and toasties night at the cafe.

21:23. Nice!

22:01. Vera looking a bit blurry!

22:04. More toasties on the way?

22:13. Hmmmm.

23:28. Beer's eye view of Martin and Lucy.

23:30. Hmmm, I probably want to start using the flash.

23:47. Looking a bit tired now. Maybe time to go home...
