Route 2: Northwest coast of Ross of Mull, Isle of Mull

Description:

Private wild hiking route with fairly good advance views. Allow around 3.5 hours for the full walk there and back, which gives enough time for some beach running or skinny dipping. You should be able to do almost all of it nude. Route map uploaded in media section.

Park somewhere near Kintra. Walk on the small road that ends up just east of Kintra village from here youll have to head around the house on a small bit of beach and walk east until you get to a fence here clamber over and head eastwards. Id say within about 5-10 minutes you should be able to go boots-only youll be out of sight of the houses, and there are no paths in this area. Its fairly easy to make your own way just roughly follow the coastline up and around outcrops until you reach the beach of Traigh na Margaidh. There is a faint path coming in from the right to the beach, which isnt marked on the map not sure if anyone actually walks on it though.

If there is no one here, step out of the boots and have a run or go for a swim. One time there was no one here, the second time there was a boat.

Then get back in the boots and head back the way you came.

Privacy score out of 10:

-Advance view (0 = wide expansive, 10 = forested and corners): 2
-Number of crossings (0-10): 1
-Number of people met during walk (0-10): 2
-Average score: 1.7 (very good)

What day of week, what time of year:

Mid-week, end of July

Any other useful info:

Just check yourself for ticks afterwards they can be very small and you might get some on your legs from the bracken.
