Am I the only one whom was secretly hoping the bridge wouldn't get replaced?
Yes, its absence would potentially result in extra effort, and consideration as to when and how to visit, but would enhance the sense of remoteness (I know the remoteness is a perception rather than a reality, as nowhere in Scotland is really that remote). Also isn't there a certain irony wanting to escape the built environment, but then being dependent on new built infrastructure......
The knoydart hills, and the ones above Kinlochhourn were great last week, dry underfoot, drab spring colours, hazy views, frogs swarming and croaking in the ponds to herald spring, just warm enough in sheltered corners to soak up some sunshine, and sparsely traveled. On the downside the ticks were out in force.
