My latest video from my #BikePacking #Scotland trip is perhaps the most epic 100km from the entire 2000 trip total as I follow the #NC500 from #Ullapool to #Durness through the North West Highlands Geopark - Quite a lot of the development of early geology often came from puzzling out & arguing over this landscape and how it came to be

The lovely Sango Bay at Durness, in the wonderful far north-west of Sutherland, where the main stops heading north and starts heading east. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/durness/durness/index.html

Anschließend: Ein Halt bei der preisgekrönten #Durness Beach. Immer noch so schön wie vor ein paar Jahren.
Bonus: Jede Menge alte Autos.
Das Tagesziel: Faraid Head bei #Durness. Den Anfang macht ein Sandstrand, dann kommt eine eindrucksvolle Dünenlandschaft.
Some more great photos from Smoo Cave at Durness on the NC500. #smoocave #durness #nc500 #roadtrip #travel #discovery #adventure

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND
Over the past two months our winter virtual tour of Scotland has progressed from Dumfries in the south to Durness in the north and today it concludes at Smoo Cave, at the eastern end of the village. "Smoo" is a name thought to derive from the Old Norse Smuga which means "hiding place". More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/durness/smoocave/index.html
Thank you for your company over the past two months!

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND
We return to the A838 which, now a single track road, we follow 14 miles north-east to Durness. Our 2022/3 winter virtual tour of Scotland has taken us from Dumfries, almost on Scotland's south coast, to Durness on its north in nearly two months; and it's time to bring it to an end.

The only day this week when it hasn't been bitterly cold and blowing a hoolie, so Moray and I took the opportunity to head up the hill behind the cottage. Beinn Ceannabeinne is only 383m but because of its location it is a fantastic viewpoint.
The scattered settlement of Durness.
Moray looking at the view.
The snow covered hills: south towards Beinn Spionnlaidh, and west towards Cape Wrath.

Full winter kit required for an expedition to ... the beach.
With Moray to explore Tràigh Allt Chàilgeag, at Ceannabeinne, on the north coast of Scotland.

Durness, Sutherland (1965ish)
Back row, L-R, my uncle and aunt, Billy and Flora Gordon of Bettyhill and my father Hugh. Front row, William Sutherland transitioning to Harry Potter, my wee brother, Graham and last but not least, me. I was in training to become a serial killer at that point in my lie.
