Day 8 - Beachcombing

Another rest day today, and perfect opportunity to spend all of it exploring the coastline around Gairloch.

As we made our way down the coast on foot in warm weather that was actually more suited to northern France than Scotland I was reminded how long it has been since I was last on a sandy beach in summer.

We waded into the crystal clear water that was as calm as a mill pond and saw fish, crabs and jellyfish. We headed further down the coast and found dinner in the form of hot beef and gravy sandwhiches. Then we gradually made our way back, pausing to draw on the virgin sand left by the low tide.

All in all a wonderful day spent doing not very much.
