Slippy Rocks and Otter Spotting on the Island of Mull
Clare takes on a challenging coastal route from Lochbuie to Carsaig on the island of Mull. The weather is dodgy, the rocks are slippy but the rewards are great.
Clare takes on a challenging coastal route from Lochbuie to Carsaig on the island of Mull. Her guide is Wendy Lloyd who – like most islanders – has several strings to her bow. As well as working for Christian Aid, farming pigs on her croft, and hosting visitors in a yurt, she is interested in helping people navigate pilgrimage walking routes across Mull and over to Iona. She tells Clare about all of this as they attempt a long and arduous hike across slippy rocks and through shoulder-high bracken but the rewards are immense with spectacular scenery and obliging wildlife.
