Walk to Craignish Point

On Tuesday 2nd January we met up with our friends Tim and Ruth Jones for lunch at the Crafty Kitchen in Ardfern and then followed it up with a walk along to the old steamer pier at Craignish Point.

New Years Day

On New Years Day Isobel and I went over to Clachan Seil to walk from the Tigh An Truish pub, up over the top of the hill to the Ardencaple road and then back along the shoreline to Puilldobhrain.  It was a bit overcast as we went along the top but the sun broke through just as we got to the Ardencaple road.

Boxing Day

Boxing Day was our now traditional walk up to the top of the hill past the Wishing Tree at Ardmaddy with some fabulous views across to Mull and it's snow capped hills.

The sunset that evening was a spectacular affair and Isobel and I went over to Seaview to try and capture a few photos.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

At last I have some time to sit down and do a few blogs in a place where there is some workable broadband.  The broadband at the cottage grinds to a halt if more than one person uses it and as for uploading photos?  Not a hope!

Needless to say Christmas was spent over at the cottage, Weather was mixed but we managed to get out for plenty of walks as most days there was a dry spell. Christmas Eve was spent doing our now traditional jaunts to the Chocolate Factory in the morning and then back into Oban to go to Piazza in the evening.

  Christmas day was , as usual an orgy of present opening although there were a few IOUs as things had not arrived! Isobel's joy at receiving her special tickets for the womens hockey world cup was a pleasure to behold!
