Day 15. Durness to Skerray

Another beautiful but frosty start this morning , with sheep bleating outside our window !
After a quick cup of tea and a freshen up , we headed toward Skerray , only about an hours drive away .
The drive was super scenic , with snowy hills next to us and frozen lochs dotted around. We stopped off along the way when we had signal to do some research , we also took Maddy on a little walk as the area was so pretty .
We continued to a little park up at Skerray harbour . The little twisty roads were really starting to get icy , but all was good and we got there safely .
There was a tap with drinking water there , so James thought we should empty our drinking water tank and get fresh water . Not surprisingly , the drinking water tap was completely frozen . Not to worry , as we still had about 3 litres in bottles , phew !
Braving the cold , we walked down to the harbour with Maddy , sliding all the way down the ice on the road . We didn’t stay for long before heading back to the warm van .
We had an early supper tonight , pork and Mediterranean veg tray bake , it took ages to cook. Luckily we were distracted by the northern lights outside.
After a few rounds of rumikub and some reading , we made some tea and headed to bed . Temperatures cold tonight , but Van stayed toastie.もっと詳しく
