We emerged from the threatening darkness of the Hirta/Soay gap and made our way south down the west coast of Hirta.
Looking back to the north, Soay was still wreathed in its cap of cloud.
The cliffs on this side of Hirta were no less impressive than on its north side.
From the summit of Mullach Bi (358m) the great headland of Carn Mor plunges into the sea.As we approached we thought we could see light coming through what appeared to be a cave.
It turned out to be a long tunnel which made its way right through the headland from the west to the south coast of Hirta. It is called Geo Creag an Arpaid and we were lucky enough to be there when it was calm enough to paddle right through!
