Assynt weekend 2016 - alternative Day 5

From Gordon:

"Day 5 Falls of Kirkaig, Stewart and Gordon

At the cafe stop at Elphin café on the Sunday there was a picture of Falls of Kirkaig, I asked the lady and she said it was about 10 miles North, on the way back I discussed going back the next day with Stewart as it had taken me 57 years to get there so didn't want to miss this opportunity, so the plan was made. The plan was an early breakfast, 8.30 am was earliest available, so we all assembled at 8.30 for the early start but we should have known nothing moves very fast at Aultbea Hotel, also by the time Mr Sharpe arrived after packing his bag it was 10.00 am before we got going. The satnav said it was 1hr 50 mins and sure enough it was correct, a quick stop at Gruinart Bay which we spotted but didn't have time befire, the route ended up going past Stac Pollaidh on a windy single track road for another 20 miles. We set off at 12.00, it said 2 miles walk, it took 1hr 20 mins to get there and after a scramble down to the waterfall, we set up for the pictures, we probably spent 40 mins taking the pics, and after an easier climb out I let the dogs off the lead "for safety", when we got to the top Susie had a quick roll in some nasty smelly sh*t, so we set off on the walk back trying to keep her down wind, we arrived back at the car for 14.50 pm, a quick scrub down for the smelly Susie and we set off for home arriving back home 7.45 pm, but happy that we had made the effort to get the picture.

A great weekend, promise to be fitter for next September !!"
