A full day for Wendy & Meg. First forest, then steadily more easy down to Watten where we enjoyed our first shop since Ullapool!
Next was a change of route - Andy Robinson in the guide describes the crossing of the Moss of Killimster as hard - if he says that, he means hard! Given that it is hard because of the, let's say, damp nature of the terrain and the fact that everywhere is already waterlogged this year and we'd had steady rain last night, we decided to bite the bullet and walk the road instead. Barney really slows up on roads normally but having Meg along made all the difference and he trotted along at normal speed!
Eventually we left the road and headed for the beach! This was the East coast and our first sea en route since Devon although we had camped next to Loch Broom at Ullapool.
Geoff had spotted a fish & chip van in Keiss earlier where we finished so we raced off in anticipation to find it had shut 10 minutes earlier! Yet another dehydrated meal it was then...
