Jet Skiing on Seanna Bhraigh
Stuart McKie, 20 July 2015

Long awaited comeback on a leisurely trip to Seana Bhraigh ! Drove up the road from The Oykel Hotel and left the car at the bothy at Duag Bridge. Good decision, midges were horrendous and a wee change of clothing inside was very welcomed at the end of the day.

Cycle in was pretty good on a fairly rugged path. Unfortunately the weather changed rapidly and a biblical flood continued for the rest of the day. Uneventful climb in zero visibility arriving at the summit cairn, the inside of which resembled more an outside swimming pool !!Return journey was one of those epic journeys you occasionally get on the hill. The Corriemulzie river had burst its banks at various places and was thigh deep when crossing (not easy with a bike or with Sheena's short legs) The track, which was easily passable on the way in, was very difficult on the return leg but it was actually good fun, especially as staying dry had long stopped being a worry. Finished the trip with a stroll on Dornoch beach today.

Have to say I was, and am, totally gubbed but what a great adventure we had on my return !
