Our journey down the west of Scotland is a rugged and quiet one. The scenery is amazing, the beaches are fine. The mountains are majestic, and the plains are dotted with lakes and wild flowers. A true wilderness we’re pleased to experience. The idea of free camping here is a romantic one, and we plan an overnight stay beside a lake. A real case of expectation vs reality sets in as the evening fills with mozzies and midgees, biting as many times as they can.
I rate Shrieks swamp an inside the tent job, with a side of mud and a mossy undertone. That’s camping done for the trip… we’ve a tent to dry out and a change of direction…Thanks to Storm Floris rushing through, we’re off to Stirling instead, and a roof over our head. Next time.
Off to the Isle of Skye
