OK down to business. My last post (Last Post - that seems appropriate somehow) was done as a comment to my post of the 9th. I know that sounds odd, but there it is. We do what we must in difficult circumstances. If you read the comment you will know that I got shoved around by BA quite a bit before ending up back in the seat I had originally asked for! Heathrow was, of course, a horrible ordeal but by 8 pm yesterday I was at rest in my overnight hotel and taking it easy. Met a very nice young couple who took pity on me and invited me to share a table with them at dinner. So a good time was had by all (and that without a great deal of wine - an impressive achievement on my part). It rained most of last night so I was fearing the dreaded curse of the Roses and expected to be in for a solid week of it but lo and behold, the drive to Lochinver was quite fabulous. I had a great mixture of sharp heavy showers interspersed with bright sunshine and also cloudiness. At all times however, the conditions were great for photography, the light was occasionally superb (misty, ethereal and sometimes just downright spectacular). Scotland did its best to make me a very happy camper today.
The Inverlodge Hotel is just as described on the website. The views over the bay (especially from the dining room) are spectacular so it will be early to rise tomorrow morning! The room are very nice and spacious and the staff seem to be outstanding. Food tonight was extremely good - quite a dining experience, although the french cheese souffle (er that's french not french cheese) was way too salty. Don't want to carp on too much however. For northern Scotland this place is amazing and is quite a step up from sandwiches in the pub.
I shot a lot of film today and a few videos. I will try to post one. Wish me luck. If the weather holds, tomorrows' walk could be to Sandwood Bay, referred to as the most beautiful stretch of coastline in Britain. Oooooh, sounds nice.
