Days like these - Iona and the Ross of Mull


This Google Earth slide shows the track of our three day sea kayaking trip to Iona and the Ross of Mull.  We paddled a little over 100km during the three days, but the distance was really irrelevant - it was the stunning colours, light quality and beaches which really made the trip stand out - below are just a few of the highlights....





The "pink milepost" at Pennyghael, with Loch Scridain and Ben More beyond.







Dinner al fresco at our base - Fidden Farm camp site.








Breathtaking colour at Port Ban on Iona

Bones of the land - Ross of Mull pink granite






Watercolour light - Eilean Annraidh





St Martin's cross, Iona Abbey





Sunsets at Fidden with the calls of Corncrakes and Snipe - magical evenings.








Days like these...memories to last forever.
