Our Airbnb host Monica serves us a very nice and hearty breakfast that sets us up for the day. The first thing we do is visit Oldshoremore Beach. It is very windy and rainy, which is a bit of a shame, as the beach would otherwise look like paradise with its bright blue, clear water and white sand. Even so, watching the wild waves is an impressive experience. Next we make our way to Stoer Lighthouse. The road there is very narrow and winding, and at one point, while reversing, we have a lorry in front of us and a sheep behind us. It is a challenge, but well worth it for the views. We do not quite make it to the Old Man of Stoer because the path is too muddy, but we have a great view of the lighthouse. Then we drive on towards Ullapool, do some shopping and refuel before heading to our next Airbnb, where a nice aperitif rounds off the day.
In short
In sunshine, Oldshoremore Beach would look like the Caribbean. Today it is windy and rainy, but the wild waves are a spectacle of their own. We then battle along narrow single-track roads to Stoer Lighthouse (with a lorry ahead and a sheep behind us) shop in Ullapool and end the day at the Airbnb with an aperitif.
