Saturday rain showers and rainbows

Heavy rain this morning but we were dry and warm in the guest lounge watching England in the rugby semi final. Rain showers were forecast for the afternoon but we went out for our 9 mile hike to Faraid headland. Occasionally we saw some blue sky.

Part of the way we walked with a chap who was searching for sea caves. The beaches on the west side of the headland were beautiful and wide. At one pinch point we had to scramble up some rocks to get up away from the waves.

This is an air traffic control for military exercises off Cape Wrath to the west.

There is one chap in Durness who loves Halloween and organises 4 days of events- we had seen it advertised as far away as Ullapool. These are dotted around the village.

These small settlements have Coops and Spars but independent shops still exist.

Often there is a combination of services such as this one - petrol, massage, art!
