Up and out to the gym and then found that I had a chunk out of my tyre, so it was down to the village to get it replaced. £60 lighter, but feeling more secure, I headed home
to pack for our trip to Skye. Set off around 12.30pm which was an hour later than we had planned. Trip was fine except the Tamron 70-300mm started acting up again and had to be replaced with the old Tamron 18-200mm which is not a bad lens at all, not as good as the 70-300mm, but at least the focus motor works properly! Stopped at Dornie to take some photos of the ubiquitous Eilean Donan castle (see below) and again at Storr to photograph the timber piled at the side of the road. Finally made it to
Staffin at about 7.00pm to a well earned dinner and a wee dram. Tired, but happy to be in this beautiful place with brilliant people. Onward to Glen Brittle tomorrow I believe.
