Day 82 Crackaig to Berridale

We had a great nights sleep last night with the sound of the crashing waves below us. It did get a bit windy at one point and I thought we might end up in the crashing waves, but no our tent stood up to the weather and we were fine. After a nice breakfast overlooking the sea we set off walking. Today’s walk was along cliff top paths with amazing views and the weather was perfect too. Our first stop was the very pretty village of Helmsdale where we had coffee and scones and stocked up on supplies for the rest of today and tomorrow morning, as there will be no more food or drink en route today. Then we set off on the more challenging cliff top route, it was very up and down and sometimes we were right on the edge of the cliff, we had to step very carefully. The views were well worth the hard walking. We then walked downhill into Berridale, which is another pretty little village. Then there was another steep climb out of Berridale for about a mile to our hostel for tonight The Half Way Hostel. We’ve got the fire going and have a fantastic view from the sitting room.Read more
