We had a bacon butty in the site cafe to start the day then set off for Ullapool. The very friendly owner is from Sunderland.
The scenery just keeps on coming, every bend or hill presents another iconic highland view of lochs and rugged mountains. We took a side road to Lochinver to get some, diesel, pies and cash. The post office is moving into the Spar minimarket after 123 years and I was it's last customer!
Just out of Lochinver is the ruined Ardvrek Castle on the bank of Loch Assynt with a small waterfall nearby. We actually saw some deer shortly afterwards, but I don't think they were wild.
We stopped near Elgin at one of the many parking places, with a superb view of course, for a sandwich before finally settling in for a rest day and two nights in Ullapool. Our pitch at Broomside Caravaning on Loch Broom is right on the stony beach near the harbour, extended power cable needed. The Caledonian car ferry goes from the harbour to the Isle of Lewis from here. Sunny start today with a few heavy showers later. Rain is forecast tomorrow, which will be our first bad day if it is true. Every campsite is bursting with motorhomes and bikers with tiny tents so the tourist industry must be loving all the North Coast 500 publicity.
