Away with the Fairies

Today’s task was to find the fairy pools. This was a long cascade of pools running through the glen with some spectacular waterfalls right in the island’s centre. We had a rough idea where to go thanks to a guidebook, and it seemed that everyone else did as well as a quarry was being converted into a car park and already we had to pay £5 to park. We followed a trail alongside a stream against the backdrop of some impressive hills, and the rock pools just kept appearing and appearing and appearing. I got brave enough to crawl down to the rocks and took a quick dip. I would have gone for a swim but the weather was against me. It would have been great to see just how long they could stretch to, but Maz’s mobility problems prevented us from strolling as fast as we would have liked. On a brighter day, there would be some great rainbow displays. It’s definitely somewhere that I would like to return.
