Last few days of our holidays left and decided to head up the North West coast with Mr C to a wee off the beaten track place called Applecross. Our home for a couple of nights was a cool wooden wigwam... which is cosy and offers more protection from the elements than proper camping at this time of year. But, in actual fact the temperatures were surprisingly warm up in this part. On our arrival we were greeted with blue skies, a very pleasant 16 degrees and a whole empty camp site to run about on... bliss!
This area is full of secret woodlands, hidden beaches & rugged coastline to explore so after off-loading our kit and camping gear we went in search of some sandy bay. It was so great to run about and stretch our legs after being stuck in the car for a few hours. We love this outdoor life, having all this to enjoy on our doorstep.
We relish being outdoors all day... after our beach walk and a swim in the sea to refresh ourselves we had another walk up the hill and through the woodlands beside the campsite... we sat out side for dinner and after ... before settling in for the night... another wander down to the village and along the coast road. Even met one of the locals... poor soul, old and stiff and mostly blind but still happy and friendly.
Finally, after 5 hours of travelling, 3 walks, a swim and running around the quiet camp site for the rest of the time... its bedtime!! 3 completely pooped pups... we couldn't keep our eyes open any longer. We fall asleep dreaming of running about today and look forward to tomorrow's adventures in the sunshine.
