Our primary hikes planned on Mull were coastal trail to Carsaig Arches and Ben Mor. On day 4, weather was so and so (clouds, some passing rain) and we decided to go to Carsaig Arches (recommended). We were lucky to arrive early enough to find parking on tiny lot at the trailhead. The rest was just rumbling along the coast, up and down piles of rocks. We really enjoyed walking on volcanic rocks and dark gray beaches exposed by low tide. It was nice hike, we spent pretty much all day there.

The following day we made a desperate attempt to hike Ben More, we drove to the trailhead: with heavy fog and occasional rain we decide it was not worth it. We drove around Mull to Tobermory instead (via Salem and Dervaig on the way back). Slow driving on narrow local roads was actually very pleasant experience. Many road segments were scenic even in not so good weather. The scenery had some feel of remoteness, perhaps because we met only few cars and people. We stopped several times to look for sea otters, but no luck. We came back to Ardtun in the evening, but by that point we knew it was not going to get really dark.
