Day 50 Kilberry to Machrihanish, Mull of Kintyre - 60mls

Kilberry Sunset
Machrihanish Golf Club
Another Hell Bunker

Mull of Kintyre, Oh mist rolling in from the sea,
My desire is always to be here,
Oh Mull of Kintyre........
Made it to Cambletown, Mull of K, at about lunchtime, thinking we may find somewhere nice for lunch. Wrong again! About the same size as Evesham, every other shop was empty, boarded up or a charity or pound shop. Very dissappointing. Still you can always find a sandwich at a golf club (unless its Stratford on a sunday afternoon), so we headed to Machrihanish GC. Weather was so nice and the forecast for tomorrow not great, that we decided to shell out the £60 each green fee today. Expensive for here, but it is a well known links course. (I had not heard of it before) Had the course to ourselves so could not blame slow play for our poor efforts of 29pts for me and 23 for himself. Might be something to do with the lightening fast greens.
Tonights site is right next to the golf course, and we can see the sea and the wonderful long beach, but the access to it is about a mile away.
Going to see if Paul is accepting visitors tomorrow! Used to really fancy him but he's a bit wrinkly now and dyes his hair!
