Lochinver - Saturday and Sunday

James, Davie and I arrived in Lochinver on Saturday after an early start and a long journey by ferry and car, to find that our cottage for this week is really lovely; beautifully decorated and spacious with views over Lochinver to Suilven. It's right beside Highland Stoneware at the top end of the village, and in fact belongs to the owner of the pottery.

On Sunday we were pleased to welcome Ally, Cat, Heather and Ewan to join us on our holiday. We went on an excellent 10.7 km undulating walk on sunny Sunday afternoon from Lochinver to the beach at Achmelvich and back. It had beautiful views and was mostly off road; I felt we had truly earned our hearty dinner at the Riverside Café later before relaxing and watching the World Cup final back at the cottage. Although sunset on Suilven did keep distracting us from the game!
