We have just booked two nights wt the Salen Hotel. I haven't seen a forecast for tomorrow but this trip has served to confirm my view that weather forcasts are rubbish this far from London.
Although it was very tough, especially for Jan, who is coughing a lot and suffering from the beastie bites, the coast road from Pennyghael to Salen is just stunning. The weather was gorgeous all day: even the ten minutes' warm rain, the edge of a thunderstorm over Ben More, that occurred about 7 miles from the end of the ride, was pleasant. Our choice of lunch stop was inspired because we spent the time sitting on our Helinox chairs watching a black throated/great northern diver (I am inclining to gnd after looking at piccies) and then an otter turned up. There was a moment when they may have been joined by the Fat Southern Bagger, so warm was the weather, but in the end I refrained.
