Awoke to white mountains in the distance. Spoke to the other people, who left at eleven to do some filming. They are doing a project on landownership, comparing Brazil and Scotland. At 12.15 left for a walk across the moors. Went down to Abhainn Ealaidh, and headed southwest towards Loch Fheoir, which I passed some distance to the south. It is covered in reeds. Headed across some low ridges south of Loch Chragoil and Loch na Ciste. Sat on a ridge overlooking the northern end of Loch Sgiobacleit for lunch at 1.15. Half an hour later went southeast, to the north of Loch na Cartach. Then east towards Loch Dubh. Ground very wet underfoot, but no great problems. Ended up in the glen to the south of Loch Ealaidh, which I passed on its western shore, high up. Nice views over the lochs in the area. Returned to Kershader just after 3 pm. Back to usual in the hostel: on me own. It’s a very nice day, sunny with cloud but chilly at 6C. Little wind, from the north, force 2 to 3. Sun set at 5 pm in a blaze of colour. Rain and wind tomorrow.
