Bikepacking NW Scotland - Day 0.5 - Ullapool to Achnahaird Beach
Easy drive up via a stop in Dunblane for tea and an enjoyable, but short, catch up with BradC. Restaurants all booked so a quick bag of chips and on the bikes for the evening to find somewhere to camp. Main road at the start was a bit uninspiring, being wide and with some long hills, but that changed one on the single track track road that headed west past Stac Pollaidh. Really nice start to the ride on a decent evening. Found a spot in the dunes to camp and spotted a seal after a quick dip in the sea to wash off - also saw a bunch of dolphins playing on the incoming tide in the distance - blood moon (which we watched rise over the mountains) so water was really high.
