But of course the gales found us wherever we were. I was blown over once but that was on an narrow footpath one boot wide so I wasn't bracing myself. After that I walked crab like with one foot on the path and one up on the grass at the side. Fotunately the wind was blowing us inshore. At one point I had had enough and cut inland but soon caught up with Martin. The waves were dramatic even in the loch great and the rain mostly held off. We had a chat with a chap from the Highland Council who was waiting to inspect an oyster farm.
After our 9 mile windblown walk we had a cuppa at home then went out again to see the Smoo Cave. We were going to walk on the local beach but the rain came in hard so we just had a quick peek at the village hall garden. John Lennon spent many holidays in the area and when they developed a garden at the village hall they incorporated a memorial to him. The garden is a bit unloved now.
Back to the B&B for another hot drink and some of Jill's homemade fruit cake.
