Allt Aigeinn to Lochan na Saile
A bright but cloudy day with the sun appearing occasionally for today's short mostly road walk.

It would have been better to stay up high last night but without water and too much wind it was much more sensible to camp where I did. I did consider climbing back up to do the top but decided on a leisurely stroll along the road.

The first part was along a very quiet road through Torrin to Broadford the bird count was increased considerably with Oystercatchers, Curlews, Sandpipers, and a good selection of birds in a wooded area as I left Torrin.
View over Loch Cill ChriosdThe views back to the hills were beautiful again as were the views over the Inner Sound as I approached Broadford.

My planning had gone slightly wrong and I had to buy an extra days food in the Broadford Co-op before retiring to a café to recharge my phone and myself.

The section on a footpath beside the busy main road passed pleasantly enough and I was soon climbing the little road to Kylerhea.

Tomorrow's plan is to climb a couple of hills before taking the ferry so I turned off onto some wet heathery ground and climbed up to the lochan where I managed to find a reasonable place to pitch the tent. A lovely view but a bit boggy and windy.

Luckily the wind died but the ground didn't get any drier!
