Return to Sandwood Bay

2nd July 2012 (to be posted on my return to civilisation!)
I am in our cosy tent at Sandwood Bay. What a day it has been! We set off from Glasgow at 9 and it took us seven hours to reach Oldshoremore including a stop for lunch at the Ceilidh Place in Ullapool. I may have mentioned before that the Ceilidh Place is one of my favourite places to eat in the world, not just for its good home cooking but its spacious and bright bar and restaurant, its relaxed atmosphere, and its attached bookshop. I associate it with holidays and have had many good times there over the years. We have now walked 6 km from Oldshoremore to beautiful Sandwood Bay which is reputed to be haunted by sailors and mermaids! It is said that when you camp here, you will wake up during the night with an "indefinable feeling of dread"! I will report on this tomorrow. I have been here once before with James, Heather, Ewan, and all of our children, on a day walk about six years ago but as it was a day time walk the ghosties didn't come out to play. James is now going to cook us some freeze dried spag bol for tea. This gives me an indefinable feeling of dread!
