Had evening meal in the Badachro tonight. Thought we had joined a kids tea party.

I did my first wild camp up near there, near Mullach nan Cadhaichean. Full of useless information me! We've never been to the Badachro Inn or the Shieldaig Hotel, perhaps a little remiss of us, but there are so many places to try! The children saw their first golden eagle when we did the Flowerdale walk, it's lovely there.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-50203632601798243712012-08-28T16:07:09.180+01:002012-08-28T16:07:09.180+01:00Hi Phil,

Plenty of Vetch though.<br />Called in the Old Inn but wasn't impressed. Boring touristy place.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-70738843274183958132012-08-28T16:00:04.472+01:002012-08-28T16:00:04.472+01:00Hi Louise.

Bought a round of drinks in the bar at Badachro and i thought he was offering me shares in the place. Food good and fairly priced. Drinks hellishly expensive. Good atmosphere and we are eating there tonight.<br />Any ideas of the grid ref of the downed plane?AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-12093723475151186562012-08-28T15:54:00.640+01:002012-08-28T15:54:00.640+01:00We are getting about Gibson but its as rough as a ...We are getting about Gibson but its as rough as a bears thingy!<br />It's heavy showers and howling.

It goes up into the hills and feels quite remote although it's not that far really. There are the remains of an aircraft that crashed up there during the war, I think. Fabulous views galore and a nice lochan with a sandy beach to picnic my, but probably a bit much for Dorothy.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-61521542817212872552012-08-28T09:54:53.696+01:002012-08-28T09:54:53.696+01:00Good you are all getting out and about and enjoyin...Good you are all getting out and about and enjoying the scenery, coffee, weather and midges!
