”Walk around ULLAPOOL port and views at LOCH BROOM” - SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ~ Wednesday Walk

in #hive-1637722 years ago

Hi all 👋🏻

❄️❄️ As winter wonderland returned to the area up here since Monday (6 March 2023), I was inspired today by all that SNOW ❄️ to post a walk with lots of it ☃️☃️
So today I want to share with you all a walk around ULLAPOOL, its ferry ⛴️ port and views over LOCH BROOM located in the #HIGHLANDS of #SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 / UK 🇬🇧
This is part of our #explorations out, to #discover new areas, since we live in the highlands since end of January this year. 😊

With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.

‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in! if you want to join… the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last post : “Wednesday Walk How do you like walking alone or with others?”
It will tell you also the rules of joining in at the Wednesday walk posts 😁

Today’s selection will be of 20 photographs, where I take you along on one of my walks, this time we go to Ullapool.
Date: 17 January 2023.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are walking along with me on this #walk around this #village: #ULLAPOOL, along the #loch and #PORT, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything, like the little #details seen through my eyes. 😊

Screenshot of the Location on Google maps:

More information about ULLAPOOL you find here:

Before we start… first things first: 😎
Let’s wrap up warm before we start this walk? 🧤🧣🥾 hats, scarves and gloves are a must for us next to a warm jacket. 😎
Now we can start our WALK now we are all warm and cosy:
Are you coming along? 😉😊

We start off with a view of that morning… to prepare you for the snow ☃️❄️

Walking along some paths we see suddenly a gritter/ snowplough… they clear the roads for us to be able to walk and drive around. Our little mountain it (the gritter) doesn’t go to hahaha 🤣

We reached Ullapool and decided to look at the views over Loch Broom… and it’s port first. ☃️😎

Do you see the little snowman ⛄️

Let’s look closer by:

Kids had some fun there… 🤩 ok ok it doesn’t always have to be the young ones, the young at heart 💜 can have fun too…
I did build a snowman too ☃️☃️☃️☃️ I will share soon a post about it with you 🤭😊 so watch this space 😎

Let’s have a look at the boats 🚤 out there… and the stunning view 😊

A little bit to the right… see the picnic table and benches… one can sit there and see the world go by 😊

… and back again. Such a pretty view.

We walk back to the village and see some signs. In the distance the ferry ⛴️ port.

Closer by view of the port of Ullapool 🤓

Let’s walk through some streets. We do so over the sideboard/pavement and on the road. Some areas are not cleared. So be careful for the cars on the road.

It is rather slippery in places… due to the ice 🧊 we had fun holding each other up when one slipped hahaha 🤣

As we are walking one big loop, we end up at the Loch again. We are on the other side of the ferry ⛴️ port now.
I see this stunning… rather amazing sky 🤩

Looking slowly to the left over Loch Broom.

And towards the furthest point we can see of the Loch. Left next to us is the port. ⛴️

One more look at this view 🥰

We walk further… and see this #sticker!

We are past the port again and look at the Loch and it’s little sailing ⛵️ boats.

From here we decide we walk up some side streets to have a better view over the village. The road is steep.

Are you still with me? Come up we can do it 😎☃️

The view will be worth it. 🤩

Looking back we see… the village is disappearing… 😯 I think we don’t go up further as this is the wrong hill… to see it from the side.

This view does show some beautiful #cloud #formations though.

A wider view… 🥰

Let’s go back down. 😊
We will walk further next time… and I show you around much more new areas, villages and cities from the highlands of Scotland.

And here I say “that’s all for today’s post my friends, join me next time for more #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻 Even some #artworks once in a while will come by” 🎨
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.

Great photos, I could think you were in the Nordics there!

Thanks Steve, it almost looks like that.
Here the north west… has so much raw nature. Almost none villages, just a few hamlets here or there.
Closest city… for everything really is 1 hour 15 drive 🤓 so it’s remote up here especially in the winter.
Have a great day!

very nice place, I really want to be able to take a vacation to a place that has snow like that.

Thank you so much @mnurhiver 👋🏻😊 I hope you can one day.
Before moving to here I haven’t seen this much snow either.
I love it so far 🥰
Have a great day!

You got me with the snowman, I was looking ahead while the snowman is right before me, the color played a trick on me 😃

Scotland is beautiful in winter, those photos are wow!
Are there people on the boats or ferries? It is too cold to be on that water.

!PIZZA

Hahaha I do must admit it is hard to see in the first photo ☃️☃️☃️
All was white hehehe 🤭

Yes, somehow the snow so fits the raw nature of the rugged mountains here. It’s pretty…
Love it. Will try to go out for a longer drive this weekend and see how the snow and ice went over the smaller lakes. Could be interesting to see. Or at small streams…

The very small boats ⛵️ stay until after the winter season.
The fishing boats do go out. And the ferry of Ullapool goes twice a day. It is the only connection with a few islands of the coast here. So people go across to work and food deliveries need to be made to the shops on the island.
If I have time, I will take a ferry over to check the islands out. 😎

Have a great Thursday Joe 👋🏻😊

Interesting that they commute in the icy weather on water, they must be used to it. Am sure you will enjoy checking out the island the place looks beautiful so there must be other beauties for you to discover.

Have a good one Jackie.

It is… and I was wondered too why they would go on bad weather.
A lot of people rely on the ferry, can’t do without.

Thank you so much Joe, yep… so much beauty out here. Hope I can see enough before I have to leave.
Have an awesome Friday! 👋🏻😊

I hope so for you too, the town looks a lot beautiful and worth exploring. But am sure wherever you move to, will have its kind of beauty as well.

Thanks and do enjoy the Friday as well.

Thank you kindly Joe 😊 the next place has lots of beauty like this too, just a little bit different.
Luckily still a temperate climate. No extreme winters or summers.
Looks like May is the month I will move again.
I started to plan carefully… I keep you posted. 🤓
You are welcome, will do. You do the same.

Hi jackie. What a lovely place. It must feel so good to be living a place where beauty is everywhere. 😍 And the snowman was so cute. Couldn't se it at first but glad you took a close look. 😅 Enjoy your day! !PIZZA

I must tell you, it is sooooo beautiful and I feel truly blessed to be here right now.
The snow makes it so magical.
It was hard to see the snowman ⛄️ in the photo above, I must admit.
Happy you joined me on this wintery walk dear @bluepark 😊👋🏻
Have a great week ☀️🌺

Loopallu !!!!!!
Its such a lovely wee town, and the views are just stunning. Its been a while since I've passed that way, but it is beautiful there. They've been forecasting snow here too all week, but we havent had any yet - lets see what happens over these next couple of days.
Wrap up warm and dont slip !

It’s a cute town indeed. Just to bad that much shops closed… restaurants and even the post office.
So lots of things you need to go to Inverness now.
Maybe in the next days you will get some snow. Here will fall much more too over the weekend ❄️❄️❄️☃️☃️☃️
I will, thanks 😊

Really, I am.
Nice walk, @littebee4.
Happy Wednesday, it's pretty sunny here!
!LADY 😍🤙🌺

Hehehe 🤭 I would too if I see so much snow ☃️❄️
Thank you so much @silversaver888 👋🏻😊 enjoy the sun ☀️
Have a lovely Thursday
!LADY 🤗🥰🌺🤙🏻

Beautiful photos especially with the loch... and the sky is beautiful too. I'm used to snow but the sky isn't like that on Montreal, rather uniform grey (city sky 😀).
Enjoy your new region, it looks beautiful.

Thank you so much @heroldius 👋🏻😊
The skies here can get pretty epic. So beautiful to see. The mountains help too in the changing weather.
It will be so different in a large city, I know.
Here it’s just raw nature and open skies 🌌
I am… thanks 🙏🏻 have a great Thursday!

Thank you kindly 😊 enjoy your day/evening.

Beautiful views and gorgeous skies! I'm ready to be done with snow and cold, though.

Thanks a lot, I can imagine @melinda010100 when one has it for long periods.
Here it seemed to come and go quickly.
We had a week or 2 in January and then until Monday no snow. ☃️☃️☃️
This will stay now I guess until next week-ish… it’s so beautiful. I will enjoy it as long as it stays hehehe 🤭
Have a great Thursday!

Wow, so much snow!
But everything looks beautiful, and what a fun hike. Thanks for taking us with you.
Have a lovely evening, Jackie 🤗❄️🌱

I know… it’s everywhere ☃️☃️☃️
I Love it. It’s so pretty…
Happy you came along with me dear @coquicoin 👋🏻😊

I like the photos. Sunny amidst the snow.

Thanks a lot @shula14 👋🏻😊 it changed all with a little bit of sun ☀️
Have a great day!

looking and feeling cold!!! It would seem you both are the only ones daft enough to be out braving the weather 😂

That small harbour looks great, the small fishing fleet safely back from the sea, freshly caught cod for tea tonight?

Yep… we are the ones that brave all weathers @grindle
I like it quite. 😎
This town is rather sleepy we noticed the few times we went there.
Not much open either, lots of things are closed… closed.

That sounds like a plan… freshly caught cod for tea tonight.
Have a great Thursday! 👋🏻😊

cheers @littlebee4 today friday I have woken up to 5" of snow, I shall be staying under the duvet!! This is the first real snow in years, and it is still coming down yeuch

Hahaha sounds like a plan ☃️☃️
Here it has been snowing on and off for the entire week… it will disrupt the rest of the UK a bit I guess.

Happy to report now snow free!!

And now it’s snow free here too, but not the top of the mountains though 😉

Hint to @littlebee4 stay off the mountain!!

Hahaha yep… but… I live half way up 😉
Have an awesome new week @grindle 😎

Thank you for tagging me, @littlebee4👍! I do appreciate it!

You really captured some awesome views here! Winter Wonderland indeed!

I can imagine the fun you had holding one another up with the surface being so slippery...lol. Wasn't it even more slippery going up that hill? It didn't affect me that badly...as I was wearing my "super-grip non-slip" shoes when we went up there...lol. The minute you mentioned "snow", I knew I had to be prepared...😅.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful scenes with us!

You are welcome @jacoalberts I know you want to see more from up here 👋🏻😊

The views are stunning, everywhere you look.
If it is at the lakes, the sea, a town or the mountains. I am constantly taking pictures hahaha 🤣 how can I not. !LOL

Imagine, we had proper walking boots 🥾 on and still slipped hahaha 🤣 it was fun 🤩 we didn’t fall though.
Good you had prepared yourself for the snow. ☃️☃️☃️ best to do.

Today it’s sunny and the snow melts a little. But tomorrow and the weekend more will fall ❄️❄️❄️
It’s so pretty.

Happy I can share it with you.
Have a wonderful Thursday 👋🏻☀️

Be there or be square!
If you're not there, then I assume you're not a round.

How refreshing to see places that are still covered with snow. It made me feel cooler although my indoor temp registers at 34C. This is such a lovely place to explore. I imagine having a picnic there is great during fair weather. Really love how you present each walking trail. I can then have a picture in my mind on where I'm going LOL! Thank you for another awesome adventure! An advance happy weekend...

Hahaha... The beauty of the city had once again returned.
The pictures really looks amazing

Thanks for sharing

Hehehe this is a tiny little village. The first city is 1 hour 15 minutes drive away… everything else is raw Nature and mountains.
It’s fun though to explore new areas.
Thanks a lot for checking my post out.
Have an awesome day! 👋🏻😎

You're welcome

Thanks 👋🏻😊

wow our two places are as different as they can be. I've been sweating my ass off at a constant 30 degrees for the past 1 week. It looks absolutely amazing but I could not be there right now :)

It surely sounds like that @betterthanhome 😊❄️☀️ two complete opposites.
I’m happy here for now… as I rarely been in snowy conditions.
One can dress better for it, not for the heat.
Have an awesome week 👋🏻🌺 enjoy it there and explore a lot.

well, thats so true. I would love to have cooler nights...pretty hot even at nighttime.

Enjoy the winter wonderland. Have a great weekend

Aawww the hot nights. I sooooo not miss them.

I will, thank you so much! Enjoy yours 😎

Thats definitely the annoying part especially because I hate aircons as well. :)

Yep, never liked air conditioning…
Take care and try to stay cool 😎

Lovely UK how I miss it so :) It seems you are settling in nicely and who wouldn't in such a lovely spot.

It’s beautiful here and I see why you miss it.
For now we are settling, we do have to move on in a few months again.
So I make sure I see a lot of it 😎
Have a great Thursday @donnadavisart 👋🏻😊
!HBIT

Amiga, I am jealous with the weather you got in there. It looks freezing cold, and I can trade my beach view for a day hehe. Gorgeous!

Thank you amiga, if only we could trade for a day hehehe 🤭
It’s lovely and I am getting used to the cold. The warm house helps.
We can dress for the cold, less so for the heat. I always had troubles with the heat. Especially now the earth is warming up. Like Spain where I lived. It just got tooooo hot.

Have a lovely day 🤗🌺🥰

Glorious photos @littlebee4, of an amazing and beautiful place! It is definitely stunning there, and I'm sure pretty chilly at the moment! Thank you for sharing! I love seeing snapshots from where you live! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thank you so much Tydyn 😊👋🏻 it’s stunning.
Luckily I have lots of layers and gloves and hats and and and. Hahaha 🤣
Thanks! Happy I can share my surroundings with you.

Most definitely, you're so welcome! Hehe...oh I remember all the layers necessary! Sure thing! I'm so grateful for it! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thank you so much Tydyn.
Today even lots of layers were not enough. We went sightseeing and walks to some epic sights. It was soooo freezing. On one occasion we didn’t continue as we felt our cheeks and lips started to freeze 🥶
Saw some pretty scenery with tons of snow ⛄️ beautiful. Will share one day soon.
Have a good morning 👋🏻😊☀️🌺

Of course, absolutely! Oh wow, yes, I remember that too! I remember times going outside and my nose hairs stared to freeze! I'm sure it was beautiful, just really cold! I look forward to seeing it, but from my nice warm spot here in Hawai'i! Thank you Jackie! Have a great night! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Hahaha yep beautiful but a bit toooo cold 🥶 and you know…
Thank you so much, that’s nice, all the way from your nice warm spot in Hawaii ☀️🌺
You are welcome, thanks so much.
Make today count!

Certainly Jackie, and yep...hehe...me likey the warmth! Sure thing, absolutely! Indeed, always! I hope that you slept well, and that you thoroughly enjoy your Sunday! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

That's one hell of a walk, Jackie. And because I imagined myself being with you on that adventure, I felt slipping through that snowy sidewalk, lol!😂

It's a beautiful winter wonderland over there. Gorgeous photos as always!

It was @ifarmgirl 👋🏻😊 thanks for coming along with me. It was so much fun 🤩
I can’t go through a day without taking photos here hahaha 🤣!LOL
Happy weekend!
