Kylescu narrows, great drift dive on an ebbing tide. Looks like you cracked it with the weather Bill. 👍

We’re in Durness Terry, and the weather is great. It’s been great for eight days now, and it’s looking good for a few more days (y)

That top left hand corner seems to have its own microcosm Bill. We did a ten day Easter trip a few year back and the weather was fantastic, ok, cold at night, each day was blue sky.

Take a trip to the craft village, an old WW2 site, which is next door for a nosey 👍
 
Sands is one of our favourite campsites, we just love it. If your looking for seclusion if even offer that. And they have improved all of their toilet facilities to a really high standard, including building a new block.
 
Yesterday we visited the famous Smoo Caves in Durness, but unfortunately due to excessive water within the caves we were limited to the first cave, and there were no boat trips on. The last photo is the burn which flows into the cave.

Well worth a visit to Smoo Caves Bill. Last time we stayed on the campsite at Durness and paid at the honesty box, 80 mph winds that night and Julie made me move the van away from the cliff edge at about 3 in the morning! :mad:

I tell a lie!

Julie just reminded me that it wasn't an honesty box, there was a 'phone number on the gate for the warden and we rang him and he came down and collected the fee. Nice chap as I recall.
 
If you are ever in Brora and fancy a nice coffee try the golf club. Great coffee in their bar and very reasonable. Two lattes and two packets of crisps £7.

Walking into Nairn today we noticed this dead snake (Adder ?) on the pavement.
Apparently they are quite common in the Forrest area west of the town.

Bill the last time we stayed at Kylescu bridge we had winds touching 99miles an hour we had a bit bigger van than now and we thought that the roof was coming off I never slept all night and I also made Malcolm move the van three times as the first couple of times we were near the edge, the following morning poor Malcolm his arm was all black and blue where I’d been grabbing it!

I Lossiemouth for two nights parked on beach carpark. Walked to lighthouse whilst watching euro fighters taking off. Large concrete blocks litter the beach, they were placed there during WW2 to protect from enemy landings. Also an observation post is still intact near lighthouse.
