North West Scotland Holiday Part 2. 31/08 - 01/09/22

After leaving Sandwood we drove to our rented pod in Culkein by Stoer. The route takes us over the Kylesku Bridge, which for once wasn't too busy to get a clear photo. After getting settled in the pod, we went over the route plan for our Cul Mor walk the next day. The weather was forecast to be good, and it turned out right. The midges were a pain though, so no hanging about in the carpark meant we were soon on our way. Cul Mor is a mountain of 849m and is classified as a Corbett. We met a retired couple from the borders half way up and got a good blether, the guy was recovering from a broken leg, which didn't seem to slow him down. Once again we had a cracking day in the Scottish mountains.
