Yesterday morning we went to Corpach to see the shipwreck there. It has a fascinating history. A fishing vessel, the MV Dayspring was built in 1975. It was later renamed the Golden Harvest when it moved to Northern Ireland to continue its fishing life. In the early 2000s it returned to Scotland and was moored at Kinlochleven - it was going to be converted into a floating sea food restaurant, but that never happened. In 2009 it was moved to Camusnagaul Bay on Loch Linnhe where numerous repairs were made. Then in 2011, in a big storm, the vessel's raiser chain failed, and it was torn from its mooring. The local coastguard controlled the landing of the vessel on the beach between Corpach and Caol. It's been there ever since.
In the afternoon we tried to get a Munro. Game over after about 5km. Waters in spate, too difficult/dangerous to cross. Return to base. This is supposed to be summer!
What a sad demise, but it does make for a good shot! Sorry to hear your treck was thwarted and know what you mean. We had temps of 9c last night and just very windy and a cool 16c today, we have had no spring and now no summer. Like you say where has it gone!
Well that is a very sorry sight. Poor old girl what a sad end to what must have been a hard working life. She looks like she’s been a strong & sturdy ship, still beautiful. Hope today has been better re climbing….blue sky here so it’s hopeful.
Sorry about your Munro! Better luck next time.
Sorry re the Munro, but it is not worth risking anything if the weather is against you. It will change again ;-)
Hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow 🎶 and the rivers will be calm.
I’m sure the weather will improve very soon and you can bag the Munro… safety comes first
