Balmaha forest walk


Breakfasted outside in the sun before the breeze kicked in. We walked to nearby Balmaha through the lochside bluebell woods on another brilliant day of weather.  
Stopped for lunch at the Oak Tree Inn before returning. We just decided on a sharing starter of smoked fish which was excellent. A breadboard sized platter of smoked and grilled salmon, smoked mackerel, prawn moose and battered fish pieces, plus garnish and granary bread. Good job we didn't order a main course! 
Balmaha is a busy little village with lots of hikers and tourists, served by a big car park, on a perfect day. We walked back again taking more photos on the 5 miles round trip. 
Although it's wall to wall sunshine all day there is a strong NE breeze, particularly in the late afternoon. So it's not sitting out BBQ conditions and the nights are cold with the clear skies.
