We had researched the possibility of going to Cape Wrath, which is a ferry ride and a one hour minibus trip from the main road. Ideally we had wanted to do it today but were told the ferry wasn't going to be running because of the strength of the wind. However we booked for tomorrow, Sunday, and made our way towards Durness near the ferry.
We parked in a spot that had electric hook-up but no other facilities, for £10 per night. The owner spoke to us and said he'd be round to collect the money in the evening.
From there we went for a walk down the coast. It was very windy, but very lovely walking down the cliffs, dunes and beaches.
Further down the coast we could see the minibuses for our prospective trip tomorrow on the other side of the Kyle of Durness.
The walk went as far as the ferry pier. On the notice board at the pier there was a message written saying there would be no ferry till Tuesday because of the weather. We emailed regarding our booking and got a reply saying that unfortunately our trip tomorrow was cancelled.
We completed our circular walk back to the van, and decided there wasn't much point waiting around. We cancelled our booking on the site and drove a few hours homeward.
We stopped at the car park at Silver Bridge near Garve. A few others had the same idea, it was a good spot with its own toilets.
We had pizza for dinner.
