Loch Sween to Oban Slept fitfully, beneath 'old forest' trees which bent and groaned in the strong wind. But hey – they've been there for hundreds of years, clothed in rare lichens and mosses, withstanding winds much stronger than during that night!! So – up early o'clock and back down the road to t...

Gatehouse Lodge, Skipness Castle.png Carradale to Skipness to Kilberry to Loch Caolisport to Crinan to Loch Sween Awoke to a beautiful sunrise and another glorious morning.

Also – a group of young adults turned up, with pizzas and soft drinks, and headed down to the BBQ area, but they were no trouble at all – no noise, no...
