Today was one of our laundry days. We only had one change of clothes for cycling so every two days we were finding places to do laundry. At Tobermory there is a fantastic Harbour Association Building with showers and a laundry. We put our washing on and headed off for breakfast. Its funny how satisfying I found doing the laundry. Light bags meant more miles so doing the laundry was an enabler.

Ready to board the ferry to Kilchoan 
We saw two dolphins and a seal from the ferry 🙂
Today’s itinerary – 23 miles, 1700ft of climbing and 1 ferry.
This was a short day, partly because of the way the ferry and accommodation worked out and partly because we thought it would be nice to have days when we could take our time a bit more.
The only way is up from here! 
On the tops after some hard climbing 
After the climb the road follows the coast 
Bonus of a short day, time for tea & cake 
Last glimpse of the sea before the next climb 
Another long climb, all down from here. 
A field, our home for the night.
We’d previously stayed at the Loch Shiel hotel at Acharacle, I called them up to see if we could pitch our tent in their grounds, knowing they did good food! The owner suggested he cut some of the grass in his croft and we stay on his land just along the road! The thick grass made a brilliant spot to pitch.
