Morning all. 6.2 on this cold, but lovely morning. Just catching the last of the sunrise, it’s beautiful.
I’ve been up an hour already and awake since 3.45! I won’t sleep well tonight either. Nana nap this afternoon if I have time. Hoping to set off no later than 8.30am tomorrow. We found out on Monday that the short ferry we need to take over Loch Linnhe is off for the foreseeable. Main ferry been in dry dock for six months and the 47 year old stand in has broken! The Ardnamurchan residents are up in arms, as you can imagine. It’s all getting very heated and political on the socials. I’m expecting to see placard wielding kilted demonstrators when we get there. We now have an extra 50 miles to drive around the loch, and it’s not motorway/duel carriage way or even a normal two way road, a lot of it is single track road. It’s ok for us as tourists as of course the scenery is amazing, but for the locals going to work or school on the other side of the loch, it’s a nightmare. Not to mention getting supplies delivered etc. It’s only a five minute crossing but it might as well be a million miles wide if you can’t get across it.
I’ll try and check in in the morning, albeit briefly ( was that a great sigh of relief I heard?). If not have a good life!
