There was a distinct juxtaposition with the very shiny Bentley I was parked next to that day! I did at least subsequently sort out that running board rubber which was in shreds.

Day 3: Ulva and Calgary - 50 miles

We'd initially thought about visiting Iona this day, but decided instead to go to the island of Ulva taking the scenic routes.
   
   

Ulva is accessed by flipping a board across to display a red square, the idea being that once this has been noticed, someone comes across in a small boat to take you across. This island was a highlight of the trip and included some good walks and an excellent cafe to refuel at afterwards. There's also a lovely old church on the island which appeared to be rapidly falling into disrepair, and I'd think needs some quite urgent maintenance to keep it standing. Unfortunately I almost completely failed to take any pictures while I was there, beyond this one which I think just about shows the island. 
   

Once we'd returned from Ulva we took the scenic route across to the beach at Calgary:  
   
   

On the way back to Tobermory we had a lengthy wait while waiting for some road resurfacing to be finished. 
   

By this point of the journey I was starting to notice an increasing amount of transmission noise, and particularly nasty noises when hitting bumps. Inspection revealed quite a lot of play in the front torque tube bearing, but there was very little I was able to do about it beyond misusing a bottle jack and a spanner to try and hammer it tighter.
