Durness

We spent a few days camped in Durness, near Cape Wrath after James' great cycle. I'm not usually a fan of paid campsites, especially when there is so much amazing wild camping about. But the Durness campsite is fantastic - good price, great views, hot showers, campers kitchen, and great beaches - so we stayed on for a bit.

View from our tent.

James doing his best to match the colour of the ocean.

Xanthoria species
Somehow I am still excited by lichens even after spending four months immersed in them.


Barnacles

Some sort of algae.
Unfortunately the brief algae portion of our course didn't stick very well. I'd love to know my algaes better
