To Ullapool.
Jun. 20th, 2015 11:15 pmIt is several years since I have been to Ullapool, and many, many more since I last took the coast road past Gairloch, Inverewe and Gruinard to get there. (There being a direct route from Inverness.)
The cloud level when I left Lochcarron was more or less zero: thick fog. This made the drive north even more fun, much to my surprise.
The fog lifted - a bit - by Shieldig (it was even sunny later. For about a minute), though there was really still nothing to be seen of Liatach and Beinn Eighe.
I had forgotten how much I love the far north west. Well, it had been subsumed into my being: I knew I loved the north west, but I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the experience.
It is a marvellous drive, past high mountains and small, sandy bays. It is a brilliant, under-appreciated part of the world.
Not by me. It is so remote and barren, with a rugged beauty, and every path looks like the start of a story.
Ullapool itself is a lovely place, Georgian and white, laid out in an orderly fashion. It has an easy feel to it, perhaps because (aside from one visit for work) I have always been on holiday there.
What a wonderful part of the world!
