Another easy day, only 33miles to Ingonish Campsite, but it has a shower block and clothes washing facilities that I would like to make use of. Once more the scenery is a joy to behold, the day sunny and the roads smooth and winding; what more could a motorcycle tourer want? Having booked in for a night and pitched my tent I go off to find the laundry facilities which turn out to be a series of waist high troughs, divided so you can wash your clothes in one part, then transfer them over to the next for rinsing. I have a tube of travel wash with me so get to dhobying my scant few sets of clothes and hanging them to dry. That has worked out well, I haven't needed to wear them inside out yet!
Chores done I once more go for a short ride and have a chillydog at Breton Cove about 20miles south of the campsite. That means I don't need to mess up the cooking pans that I scrubbed clean this morning, the outside gets sooty with the campfires and multi-fuel stove very quickly. I have bought myself a cafetaire mug. It is excellent. Not only is it insulated but has a plunger for trapping the coffee grounds and a drinking hole in the lid. I also bought a hand axe for chopping up wood for the campfire.
