Can you spot the black dot in the centre of the picture? That’s me walking back down the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track, after having walked to Bealach na Caillich together with my sister Imke. For the return leg I had walked ahead as I needed to cover a few more miles while my sister took her time. This allowed her to capture this view of me as a tiny dot in the vast landscape with the Kilchoman Crags and the ruin of Kilchoman church visible in the distance.
A picture courtesy of my sister Imke, as that dot in the centre in the distance is me, walking back towards her from the northern end of Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay. Coull Farm on the hills on the right.
Another picture from me going wild swimming in Machir Bay off Kilchoman beach, here my sister Imke captured me splashing around a bit in the waves. In this picture it might look like I’m in deep water, but rest assured I wasn’t. As there can be dangerous currents in Machir Bay I made sure I stayed close to the shore and was always able to stand.
