| Looking back to Aird. |
Everything about this walk was spectacular (well perhaps not the walk back up the hills!) The weather, the company, the scenery, the beach and most of all the clarity of the weather. Most certainly the clearest we have ever seen Rum and the islands with the Rum Cuillin in full glory with each detail easily discernible.
Nine members met in Broadford and squeezed (with four-legged Jessie) into two cars, with two others making their own way there. Just as well we didn't take any more, since we arrived at the Aird road end carpark to find it very nearly full, which was a surprise to most of us. These tourist were however walkers not just photo takers, so lots of lovely conversations on the way.

| Moooving well! |
We set off in fine weather with a breeze which made walking a real pleasure.

Camas Daraich beach |
A slow walk to the base camp on the most glorious of beaches and a welcome lunch.
Five of us then continued to the Point of Sleat lighthouse to experience the wonderful views from the 5 sisters to Ardnamuchan, the small isles and the southern Hebridean island. Charlie was disappointed not to have seen the seals but made up for it with a Minkie whale sighting in a good calm sea.
- then back to link up with the rest of the group who were a little chilly on our return (too much sunbathing we think!)
The walk back was a bit tortuous but once the first long hill had been overcome we all made it back in good time. A very good day had by all.
