As the photos show, places that you may expect to be unexciting can in reality be beautiful.

Cale, at the opposite slip on north side, over a three day period, me and my dive bud, we dived and hauled out the motherload of legal size clams, we made over 2K. I have some hard copy pics, I'll see if I can find them. Love this area!!

I believe the old ferry is beached at that slipway. Stromeferry has an interesting past and was a busy place before the railway was extended to Kyle. The Stationmasters is a great place to stay. You can watch otters seals and porpoises from the window or have a game of snooker or just relax. Train journey to Plockton or Kyle for beer and food and very picturesque. Better than Applecross IMO Rob and worth having a look online as you can book the whole building for the festive period.

They must have cleaned it up as we were there in 2017

You must have been there before me, because the sign was covered in graffiti in 2014. :-

Here you go Cale, pics of hard copies, hence not great quality. Hover over each image for title. Originals taken late February, bloody freezing in that two man tent, was so cold were jumped into our drysuit's, then our MOD spec sleeping bags, it was so cold.

I've always wanted to do that in a canoe Bill.

Surprised nobody has ever fallen off of the no railing side! I've seen one or two people panic whilst standing on the back of a narrowboat.

After a wrong turn we ended up here on top of the Col D Aspin having driven up the sharp end. Just as well we didn't meet anyone coming down. The views were quite stunning and we spent the night there.View attachment 79944View attachment 79945

Looks a good spot. I'll add it to the POIs

I’d be surprised if no one has fallen off the non railing side over the years. A teenager fell of the railings side in 2016.
It didn’t feel as bad as I thought it might, been over a few times now. Certainly a canoe would be interesting!

I know which side of the tiller I would be standing Bill!

Those are cracking photos!

Yes, well we were a tad daft, they were happy days, the life experience you never forget!!

Recognise the trees and local?

Ps. No old ferry to be seen then or now.

It’s there somewhere?

Great Pics 2CV. I Love it there, kayaked over one autumn/winter with a friend. Its nuts walking/cycling across how many people do it with jelly legs or hold the rails all the way but still face their fears and do it.

One of our favourite stops on Arrans west coast at mid thunderguy. It’s just about enough space for two vans, but we have never had company, we have always been alone. After 10pm you probably won’t hear a car till around 6 in the morning. We walked up to Fionan Lochan, then up onto the hills that surround it for a better view. This was our first van which we traded in last year.

All these superb photos aren’t helping with my cabin fever, they are just making me want to get out in the motorhome even more.

I passed through checkpoint Charlie a couple of times before the wall came down. East Berlin has changed massively.

Love at first sight.
