so we moved to next point on out trip plan. pitched the tent at durness campsite and jumped back into the car, drove 2 miles to balnakeil.
i guess balnakeil bay is as famous as sandwood bay, i always thought that they're overrated.. well, they're not. they're both amazing (as are many little, nameless places in north-west scotland)
balnakeil bay and faraid head, great place especially in low tide. could easily spend there at least 3 hrs
the place is fantastic and it must be extremely windy as a standard because the dunes and sand-drifts we saw there were spectacular. at one point it turned to be a proper desert with sand being blown into our eyes, ears etc, quite an experience
some photties
welcoming party (!) fortunately the young bull was uninterested
some fantastic light/rain/cloud show
there is a paved road under at this sand, really impressive sand-drifts
really enjoyed visiting this beautiful place and will happily go back
