5/5/2012

 
First thing in the morning, I opened an email from Two Lochs Radio who invited me in for a chat at their studio in Gairloch.  I arrived 45 minutes later than planned but they were pleased to see me and I recorded an interview with Carol which was engineered by John.  Then onto Rua Reidh via a track and road and a path.  On the way up to the lighthouse I passed a sign saying that the hostel was full.  Also, a car laden with passengers stopped to offer me a lift and confirmed that the lighthouse was full - with them!  When I arrived on foot, I spent an hour and a half “researching” the marshy camping options on the surrounding moorland.  Eventually I arrived back to within a couple of hundred meters of the lighthouse and found a lovely spot to pitch my tent which I think was the site of an old building.  After my rehydrated risotto, I settled down to sleep and woke in the morning to the sound of sleet and snow pattering on the fly sheet of my tent.
