North West day 7 - Kinlochewe

On the way back down the peninsula we stopped to look for otters at a couple of likely places but didn't see any. We stopped at the picturesque village of Badachro.

We drove on to Ben Eighe near Kinlochewe, where there are a short woodland walk and a longer mountain walk marked out. First we went with Amber round the woodland walk, then left her in the campervan and did the mountain walk ourselves.

It was quite quiet, though we met a couple of other walking groups. Up at the highest point of the walk is a spectacular plateau with many small lochs.

At the bottom we took Amber for a short walk to the shore of Loch Maree.

We then went to Kinlochewe and had a pint at the Kinlochewe Hotel, before going down the road a bit to wild-camp in a car park just off the road. It would have had great views to Loch Maree if the visibility had been better.
