Rum

Paddled from Eigg to Rum.  Three quarters of the way across a head wind got up, and became increasingly strong as we neared the shore.  The last 100m was quite a struggle. After a rest on the beach, we decided to head for Kinloch, rather than go further round the coast.  As the shipping forecast suggested strongish NW winds for the next few days, we ended up spending a very pleasant 3 nights at the campsite here.

A few years ago it was difficult and expensive to stay on Rum, but the area around Kinlock is now run by the  Rum Community Trust, who are very friendly and welcoming.
