15.9 miles 1034.6miles
Headed downhill through the moor to the clearance village and then preserved Broch of Ousedale. Quite evocative. Then onwards to a memorial to the clearance villagers at Badbea. A stunning but inhospitable place to live. Watching the sea all the time as very calm and perfect for sea beauty spotting- non seen🙃 the path was there and well marked despite the warnings on the website. We followed the coast most of the way to Berridale where we descended to the cottages and Motorhome for tea. Colin and Finn had a swim and we went onwards and upwards following the dramatic coast with arches and stacks and seabirds, wildflowers -magical. Edges a little steep at times for Helen 😆. Descended down to Dunbeath where we bought fresh crab for our sandwiches. Upwards again past some cetacean watchers - orca and humpback whales to be seen over last few days. A few more stacks and intoLatheronwheel Harbour. A beautiful spot in glorious sunshine.Read more
