25th May. The route covers about 61 miles (including the Cape Wrath detour) and climbs about 1900 feet, from Kylesku along the coast to Scourie, past Laxford Bridge and the lonely lands northwards to Keoldale, where a passenger ferry connects to the road to Cape Wrath lighthouse and back. The ferry was not in operation due to the tide, so I headed for the Wild Orchid guest house in Durness.
