After breakfast, took the short drive to the beach at Delnies, sometimes referred to as the secret beach. A fantastic place to walk. There were some strange looking shipping out in the firth including a massive boat carrying oil rig legs. Returned to the van to do some reading and get some lunch. Again, a blast around the field.

For 2.75kg! On the return, stopped at Balloch community woodland. After lunch, headed 5 mins along to Howford Bridge and walked from there into Nairn and back. A real...
