As we paddled SE towards Ardtoe and the sand dunes of
Cul na Croise a chill wind got up as the sun began to set. We were now in deep shade but the summits of
Beinn Resipol (845m) to the ESE,...
...
Rois-Bheinn (882m) to the ENE and...
...the west end of
Eilean Shona (199m) to the NE were still in the sunshine.
By the time Ian and I arrived at the dunes and...
...shifting sands of Cul na Croise the sun had set and we thought we had missed a great photo opportunity.
However by the time we had pulled the kayaks up the beach and...
...started to walk along the sands...
...it was obvious that the pink tinged sky...
...still gave a lovely light to the wet sands.
Out at sea the distant mountains of...
...Eigg and Rum were nearly silhouetted against the rosy sky.
All too soon it was time to leave this lovely spot. Time was running out and we left the shifting sands to darkness.
An amazing coast, I walked this north Ardnamurchan coast years ago, what a find those sands at Gortenfern were!
ReplyDeleteHi Robert, we were astounded by the coastline and particularly those beaches. Apparently they have a bloody past and there have been some interesting archaeological finds in the sands.
