Leaving Portsonachan we travelled back along Loch Awe to Castle Kilchurn, across to Loch Etive and down to Oban.
Oban is a lovely port town with ferries serving quite a few Hebridean Islands. We had a few hours to kill so we visited the Oban Distillery, had some lunch and poked around the shops to shelter from the squally rain.
We took the car ferry to Craignure on the Isle of Mull and travelled around to Tobermory for the night. We loved our stay and cosy pub supper at the Mishnish Hotel on the waterfront.
The Tobermory Distillery wasn't open so we set off around the island on what turned out to be one of the most wild and scenic drives we've ever done in the UK. And the weather was fine!
Then we took another ferry from Fishnish to Lochaline across the Sound of Mull to the mainland and on to Fort William.
Thursday 11 November
This did involve another great drive and another ferry crossing, this time over Loch Linnhe.
Before dark we drove up to the foot of Ben Nevis for a little walk that didn't involve summitting anything!
Because sunset is getting earlier and earlier as we travel north we have got into the habit of eating dinner early- at about 6.30pm and then heading off to bed with a few hours of reading, social media or crappy TV.
That's because there's no crowding into a pub or listening to live music during a pandemic!
