Inver Lodge Weekend - 21st April

Our second day in Lochinver and we woke to a bit of mist that scuppered our plans to climb Suilven.  Instead we took a drive to Stoer Lighthouse and took off on a circular route with views out to the Atlantic and the Old Man of Stoer.

The route was a bit boggy but the weather cheered up a bit and we had clear views of the rocky landscape in the distance: Cul Mor, Suilven, Quinag and Ben More Coigach.

The drive out to Stoer was lovely, very remote and isolated along a single track road.

On the drive back we took a detour to the Little Assynt Estate for a 6 mile run along, what appeared to be newly constructed paths.  I was absolutely knackered and had to keep stopping on the more hilly parts of the run. 

I felt as if I truly deserved my meal that night:  white onion soup, fish stew and sorbet.  A hot bath and an early night.
