Route 3: Southwest coast of Ross of Mull, Isle of Mull

Description:

Good hiking route with fairly good advance views for some of it, and no real paths crossing it you should be able to do almost all of it nude. Allow around 4 hours for the full walk there and back, which gives you at least an hour for some liberating nude running on the expansive sands to the sound of startled Oystercatchers, or skinny dipping with seals. Route map uploaded in media section.

Park near the end of the road running south of Fionnphort (at Knockvologan). Take the path east from here towards Torr Fada as soon as youre out of sight of the house, you should be able to go boots-only. Keep following the path to the remote beach of Traigh Gheal on the south coast. I dont remember any other paths crossing it, so if you dont see anyone ahead and no one is following you, you should be on your own. The only thing is that near the beach, you head through a thicket of trees, so its possible you wont get advance warning of meeting anyone here, but once on the beach you can relax again if anyone is here, they probably came by boat.

Here the beach is large and wide great for running. Feels like the end of the world!

To get back, just follow the way you came in.

Just check yourself for ticks afterwards they can be very small and you might get some on your legs from the bracken.
