This morning we got up early and decided to go and try a walk called Quiraing (pronunciation unclear but probably something along the lines of “Querahn”). It is a walk with steep climbs and descends and is officially for advanced hikers, but we were brave and decided to do it. Underway to Quiraing we passed a beautiful vista of the Kilt Rock with a waterfall.
Kilt Rock
We arrived at Quiraing carpark, packed a bagpack with some instant noodles, a bottle of water, a breakfast cake (ontbijtkoek, brought from NL) and 2 apples. First we thought we would walk for half an hour and then return, since this was supposed to be an advanced hike. After we started, it began raining, then after 15 minutes it stopped, then after a while it started again. We were excited with the scenery and decided to continue.
The Prison
About 5 hours later we were back at our car. Almost dead but proud and happy we did it! This is our track (I forgot to turn the tracker on at the start, so in reality Start should be where End is). As you see, we got lost a bit around Meall ... Suiramach where we did a detour instead of following the cliff. We did climb to a summit of 543m though! We were astonished that we were actually able to pull this off.
Some more GPS tracker info here.
On a Tesla-related note: we got the following review from our hosts in Portree on AirB&B:
Katja and her husband arrived from the Netherlands on their tour of Scotland. They were a nice couple. during their stay Katja's husband asked if they could recharge their car from our power supply. Angie said sorry that we didn't offer that facility - in truth we had no idea how it was done or how much it cost, but it got us thinking and so we'll check this out and find out if this is something we could offer as I am sure electric cars will become more numerous.
