Day 51 Machrihanish to Carradale, MOK 55mls

Machrihanish Sunsets
Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse
Views from the Mull Road
Bright and windy this morning. Drove to the most westerly point on the British mainland, the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse, down a 6 mile narrow, twisting road. Good job there is not a lot of traffic here! Very misty going over the top.
Macca was not in residence, even though we explained we were Stella's neighbours, the security guard would not let us in for a look round.
Carried on round the coast road, which was very lovely, less wild than the highlands, could have been Cornwall. Arrived at Carradale, which has everything we like - beach, forest walks and cycle tracks, golf course and what looks like three decent places to eat. The site is right on the beach.
Found another tick on the Taz tonight even though we put the tick stuff on her. Horrid things. I dont know how you would find them on a big shaggy dog.
Best news of the day - Murray won! Went a bike ride round the village after the match and the only guy we saw shouted to us 'Did you see Andy?'. I presumed he was talking about tennis, not asking us about his mate.
