Yes, this is Erraid! Looks like Sardinia, but actually off Mull and not Italy!
Relaxing on Traigh Gheal, an inlet on the south side of Erraid. Base camp for the week.
Paddled down there from Fionnport with dangerously overloaded kayaks full of everything from chairs, beer, wine, whisky, food tents, tarps, climbing gear to fishing poles!
The nearest climbing was on the Pink Wall right above the camp.
View across the bay and further to Iona.

Whilst on Erraid I began to explore Eilean Dubh and Eilean nam Muc to the west of Tinkers Hole and discovered many new fine climbs which you can see some of on the following entries.
