This podcast starts with an interesting interview with a young couple who give an idea of how hard it is to make a living in this part of the world. However the upside is the sense of community and the strong supporting bond between those who choose to live here. The surrounding area is actually owned by the community and the Assynt Crofters Association. It makes a fascinating read if you want to know more. The day ends in an unusual wild camp spot directly under a bridge and an A road. But the camp places are limited we found on the whole trip. The next day is a very long one and we use a hotel to restore body and soul. Sandwood Bay is getting closer and the next thing we have to consider is the potential Live Firing on our Cape Wrath path. Will they or won’t they?
