And the sun shone

We hadn't come to Mull for sunshine. Of that we'd seen enough and sweated enough under its accumulating heat in Tuscany. But out it came and shone the whole blessed day through.

The Boss being on the mend we dandered down the coast road pulling in just before the Ulva crossing to scramble around a low bay. Later we drove across to the road out to the Gribben cliffs.

We had another scramble over the big rocks and exposed lava flows looking for otters and other wildlife. We saw no otters but a lot of seal pups out on a low tide-exposed, seaweed covered rock. There must have been over 15 pups (you can just make them out in the first extra).

Northern Mull is made up of multiple flows of basaltic lava that give the land its characteristic stepped hills.
