So my original plans for this weekend just passed were dashed by a
mysterious illness that struck late on Thursday night. Bed-ridden from
the nose down on Friday left me feeling pretty depressed, especially
with Scotlands micro-Summer conditions we are experiencing just now!
Feeling a tad better on Saturday, Anna and I headed for the coast to
soak in the rays by Arisaig, and go for a gentle but lengthy walk. A few
years back while I was working at Castle Toward a group of instructors
and managers had sea kayaked from Glen Uig out to the Arisaig peninsula,
setting up camp at a trully picturesque little bay with excellent
camping areas, rock for scrambling on and a true sense of isolation and
solitude. Since moving up to Fort William I have been keen to take anna
out there but weather and other commitments have always stood in the
way, but we thought it would be an ideal venture while I was feeling a
little out of sorts! It was a pleasant 15km round trip, along a road
mostly (sadly) but it ends maybe a mile or so before the coast and
luckily no one in a car seems to venture out that far, so we had the
area to ourselves and had a right good explore, with me pointing out
memorable spots and incidents, while reflecting on days gone by and
memories shared with others now spread far across the UK.
We
enjoyed a spot of lunch and took some photos, before heading back to
Arisaig and on to Mallaig for some Fish and Chips from the Tea Garden
(delicious and worth every penny!). It was a delightful day and just
what I needed to perk me up a bit :)
