Family adventure walk

The Silver Walk alongside Loch Moidart will give young and old some low level adventure.  The path hugs the shoreline and has a few interesting exposed parts as well as fallen trees, large boulders and many ups and downs to negotiate.

I used this walk to get me to the foot of Beinn Bhreac which at 240 meters is low by the standards of Moidart. This does not mean it lacked challenge.  I walked the hill in the middle of a 42 mile bike ride and in hot conditions for April. The hill was steep, with few paths, wet underfoot and had knee deep tick laden foliage to wade through.  The usual summit view:-

Back down to the Silver Trail and the walk back.  

Eilean Shona island dominates the mouth of the loch together with the fort of Casteal Tioram.  The tide was out so the sands added to the adventure opportunities.

The accumulated effects of being out on the hills for 9 of the last 10 days are beginning to take a toll of my ageing body and the bike ride to Lochailort was hard. I started the last part of the bike ride at sea level and finished at sea level.  Yet there seemed to be twice as much up as down?  Surely it should be equal?  Great scenery though was my compensation.
