Walking on the Isle of Jura
Last week I mentioned Clare Balding walking on Islay with the Ramblings program (And the program was very nice, I really enjoyed listening to it!). This week she goes walking again, but this time on Islay's closest neighbour, the Isle of Jura on the other side of the Sound of Islay. And if I interpret this correctly she will be really just on the other side of the sound:
Clare Balding travels to Jura in the Western Isles to walk with Donald Euan Durrock and his teenage children. They start on the coast at Inver.
In other words: On Friday the 22nd of September at 15:00hrs (UK time) you should tune your radio to BBC Radio 4 and listen to Clare Balding's Ramblings. I certainly plan to listen to it.
I've been on a few walks on Jura, although not in the area Clare will be walking in. Here are a few impressions from walking on the Isle of Jura:
- Jura House Garden Walks incl the walk to the Misty Pool
- Craighouse and Keils - Islay Walking Week April 2004
- Knockrome and Ardfernal - Islay Walking Week April 2004
- WalkIslay 2005: Walking on the Isle of Jura, this walk took us to Loch Tarbert, where the picture above was taken
- Isle of Jura - Islay Walking Week April 2006, a walk near Lowlandman's Bay
And no, I haven't been on the Paps of Jura yet. Just haven't got round to do it. Still on my to do list for a future visit...
