Friday 3rd Oct

Hopefully post a new set of photos tomorrow.

Currently sitting in 75mph winds and the electricity supply has just gone off. Everything is currently powered of the vans leisure battery which I want to preserve as long as possible.

Ob Mheallaidh, Upper Loch Torridon

 A walk around Ob Mheallaidh (Gailic for 'Bay of Deception') and the small peninsula that separates the bay from the rest of Loch Torridon.

It has the name Bay of Deception due to the large boulders that surround and lie within the bay making hazards for any boats.

 

Applecross Peninsula

 The weather forecast dictated where I went today - by sticking to the coast to avoid the rain inland.

Applecross is a peninsula in Wester Ross. It is bounded by Loch Kishorn to the south, Loch Torridon to the north, and Glen Shieldaig to the east. On its western side is Applecross Bay and the Inner Sound. The peninsula is mountainous, sparsely populated, and has only two small roads joining the mainland. One of these roads traverses the famous Bealach na Bà.

The Bealach na Bà pass rises to 2,053 feet (626 m) .In 2025, The Daily Telegraph wrote that Bealach na Bà had become a "worldwide motoring phenomenon".
