| Approaching Raasay. Dun Caan is the highest point you can see |
Today we left Achininver and Sutherland behind. This marked the end of the very successful first week of S3 Projects 2008. However, the adventure was far from over as we made our way south towards Skye. Our first target was Sconser; were we would catch the small car ferry to the Isle of Raasay.
The drive was quite uneventful but gave
us time to reflect on the first week and how successful it had been, how
lucky we had been with the weather, etc. All in all, good thoughts and
feelings all round... now bring on the second week!

| Skye Cuillin from Raasay |
We
arrived at Sconser mid afternoon and boarded the ferry for the short
journey across the sea to Raasay. I had heard that the usual landing
spot (the pier at Churchton Bay) was being refurbished. Sure enough, the
ferry landed at the pier at Suisnish. All that remained was the very
short drive up the road to Creachan Cottage (Raasay Youth Hostel). Once again, a great hostel in a breathtaking setting.
We spent the evening outside in the sunset, looking out to Skye and the Cuillin. |
