Approximate route, with yellow dots for overnight camps
A late start - leaving the beach at Mellon Udrigle at 10pm
Crossing to Priest Island as the moon comes up ... 11 pm
Campsite of fortune on Priest Island - hauled up a steep beach at midnight, but quite a view in the windy morning
Heading out of the 'Priest's Hole' sea cave - lovely colours on the roof
Razorbills at the entrance to the Priest's Hole cave
White sand beach on Isle Ristol - hellava camping spot ... 28degC in the air, about 10degC in the sea, brrr.
Sheep joing us for dinner
Swimming in the lovely warm, peaty lochans of Isle Ristol - could have stayed in there all day
Me at the anti-midge evening cooking rock. With a lonely Eider duck for company
