DAY 5 Lochinver to Ullapool

We started the day under partly cloudy skies and it continued thru the morning.  Calm winds cooler temps probably 50 ish.
Just another view of the North Atlantic  and some of the rugged terrain we've been riding through for several days.. Today its 47 miles and some 15% climbs for a total of 4500 feet for the day
 


Leo looking at yet another road warning sign...this time for...cows?  I guess so!


 
More miles of single lane pavement, few cars and a loch(lake) at every corner... pullouts every few hundred feet for passing traffic
Leo Randy and Beth paused at an intersection

More single lane, often green and often rocky
 

stunning vistas...everywhere

                                                                                     Welcome to Ullapool  


 

 
The official end of the Highland Route
 

An island ferry in the port town of Ullapool.  This is the largest town we've seen in the past week. We watched it unload the cars and trucks.  It services the Hebrides Islands offshore.  We had a great dinner at a place on the waterfront called the Arch.
