I like to explore as much as I can on first visits. Get a feel for a place and just take my time and see how things unfold. On the way to Applecross we stopped at the imaginatively named Sand for a walk on the beach as the kids scaled the Sand cliffs to stretch our legs.

Reaching Applecross I was suprised how small it was, just a strip of buildings looking out to sea. We stopped for a wander around and visited a small gift shop. Very pleasant. 

I was looking forward to the return leg of the journey over the pass of Cattle, Bealach na Bà. I’ve heard it’s quite a tough drive, surely it can’t be more challenging than the Wrynose and Hardknott Passes in the Lake District. A good test for my van…

At the summit of the pass there are fantastic views over to Skye and I got lucky with some clear and interesting conditions.

Having survived Bealach na Bà I headed back to the house stopping at the red roof cottage on the way home.
