Today's coffee stop is sponsored by an unnamed knoll 4km into the wild, squelchy heart of Assynt 😉

Soooooo nice to be back on the west coast!! 🥳 The Cairngorms are fantastic but they've got nothing on the impossibly squelchy ruggedness of Assynt and Coigach.

Sunset was a pretty awesome way to round-off the day, too. Yep it really was that red - reflecting in Loch Awe Assynt.

The holiday finishes with some utterly awesome moody landscape. MY MOUNTAINS(TM), silhouetted against the dark dusk / night sky.

I have memories of doing similar across Wester Ross and Assynt. At 78, I can’t manage such outings anymore, but it’s lovely to celebrate vicariously. Thanks for posting.

Still can't beat the Maiden Loch and all that surrounding gneiss rockery 😍😀

Thoughts on the way back down: 25yr ago a Tuesday would've involved a commute from Croydon to central London and back.
Today it involved increasing knowledge of Assynt, enough geology to recognize a spring in limestone country, Dog, cameras, car, ...
Existence is considerably improved 🙏🏻😊

Day 3: Bone Caves, Inchnadamph

A totally gorgeous wee weaterfall to start off with; a large spring (Fuaran Allt nan Uamh) that even I noticed; the view out the cave to a landslide on the opposite hillside; a BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND.

The spectacular beach and superb coastal scenery at Clachtoll, north of Lochinver on the west coast of Sutherland. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

The beach and coastal scenery at Clachtoll. The image shows a view over a broad white beach at low tide from tussocky grass in the foreground to a rocky outcrop on the right and a low rocky promontory on the far side of the beach, with some white cottages at its left-hand end. The turquoise sea is lapping in from the right and in the background are some mountains low on the horizon on the right of the frame. The sky is blue.

She looks a lot more cheerful here on the 1912 British Science Association field excursion to Assynt outside the Inchnadamph Hotel, in Scotland. Jérémine is to left in middle row with a scarf over her hat, looking like she is enjoying a good chat with chap next to her.

A church tower rises from Italy’s Lake Resia because the old village of Curon was submerged when a reservoir was created in 1950. It ranks fourth in Avis’s underrated European lakes list.

Good morning. Dull, wet, light breeze. 13C. Due to brighten up. Home will be stormy when I’m travelling later though.

#photooftheday is Loch Assynt and Ardvreck castle and some striking reflections, I think.

Wishing you a good day.

#ScottishHillTracks Route 333, at 12km offers a concise adventure in the scenic Assynt, where it is often wet underfoot and the path is faint.

On this route you'll walk just west of Quinag and north of Loch Leothaid. The final 4 km to Drumbeg is walked along the winding B869.

#HillTrackTuesday
Narrow grassy hill track through brown heather leading toward steep, rocky Scottish mountains under a cloudy sky, overlaid with "Scottish Hill Tracks Route 333" and the title "Loch Assynt Lodge to Drumbeg" and the ScotWays logo. A serene highland loch curving along a heather-covered shore toward a rugged mountain ridge under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. Promotional scene for ScotWays showing a misty upland with a wooden waymarker and small footbridge through brown bracken. The overlayed text reads: 'Find out more and buy the official guide to Scottish Hill Tracks on scotways.com.
