- Roadside layby at Achriesgill
28 August 2016
the good weather of 27 August continued and Sunday 28 was even sunnier. There was Apsley no wind in the morning and there were millions appeared of these midges. Definitely needed the head net when outside the confines of the insect screened tent. With the numbers of midges around, life under a tent fly would be quite miserable. Definitely benefited from having the sealed interior of the chrysalis tent at Sandwood Bay that morning.
However it was now time to move on as my companion from the Czech Republic was running out of food and needed to reach Glasgow to continue her journey back to Prague. My plan was to continue down the Cape Wrath trail. The first goal was to reach Kinlochbervie which is of little fishing port where there is a Spar supermarket however supermarket on the Sunday closes by 2 o'clock in the afternoon I think. So we had definite deadline to reach the supermarket before it closed for the day. The weather was beautiful and sunshine the whole day. We did reach the supermarket with plenty of time and had lunch at the waterfront under the watchful eye of a seal who was popping up out of the water just beside the table where we were seated.
We said farewell and I continued towards Rhiconich. An American who we had met earlier had suggested camping at this roadside layby near Rhiconich and that is what I did. Wonderful view from the layby up to see loch.
Charged the Sony action camera from the Guide 10. Initial charging current into the action camera was 8020 mA. Guide 10 shutdown after 3.1 WHr was delivered. Additional 0.4 WHr taken from the Xaomi battery. So that was a reasonably sunny day north-west Scotland and the solar panel was able to put 3.1 WHr of usable energy into the storage battery.
Air pressure is 1008 mBar and temperature 15°C.
