Two days of hiking are complete and we are almost 100 km into the route. Day 1 was a fair amount of uphill on roads then we went cross country through a forest. A wrong turn took us out to the highway about 1.5 km from where we should have been. When suddenly a thunderstorm was upon us and had us hightailing it for the closest bus stop, marking the end of the day. Day 2 had us travel by taxi back out to the trail and we were off again. Lots of trail markers on this section meant there were no mistakes to be made. We spent most of the day among the sheep, walking along a cliff overlooking the ocean with views of the North Channel and Scotland. There is a link section next and bad weather is arriving from the South so tomorrow will be an easier day. We are very close to one of, if not the nicest sections of the whole trip. On the look out for leprechauns...
