Default Isle of Mull 08

Just back from a brilliant weekend on the Isle of Mull. Beautiful place

The journey there on friday


















The view from the hotel


Saturday - A lap of the island at a nice leisurely pace. It was a bit misty to start with but it cleared up



Calgary bay


































Fionnphort bay, which looks across to Iona














We went exploring up the cliffs


But we were being watched
















Filtering through cows, who were sh*tting all the way along the road, so now our bikes are covered in it







Tobermory bay






Heading home sunday







The petrol station on Mull was shut when we were leaving so had to take it easy until we found another one. Set a new record for a tank of fuel for me

It's really nice there isn't it. Went over last summer, but just for the day which it turns out wasn't enough to do a proper tour. Deffo plans to take the bike over - maybe next year. I forgot Mull has much better (ie. proper) beaches unlike Skye, damn!

BTW, when you were in Tobermory did you go for a boat trip to see the wildlife. Stunning! Seals, sea eagles, porpoises and dolphins. We missed the orcas tho by a week or so, they migrate towards Iceland through the Sound of Mull and the Minch.

We quietly coasted right up beside the dolphins further up the coast. They were playing around the cruiser, under the hull, across our bow etc. for a good 20mins or more. The crew even put down a sonar so we could hear them calling each other. So good we would consider going again. Amanda was crying with joy!

Re. petrol - yup, that's the island way of life! Not that i've run outta fuel.....this month.... yet!....

Yeh I love it, I was there last year on the bike too. The beaches are beautiful and so peaceful, could have stayed there all day. We didn't have time for the boat trip but we heard about it and it sounded good.
