After Barra we caught the ferry for the 40 min crossing from Barra to Eriskay and onto South Uist via the causeway. The sun did come out for 5 minutes during the crossing but not consecutively.

Once again we have found a campsite located next to the beach and have used this as a base to explore the local area. The moorland around here is bleak and the tracks faint – this in combination with the detours required to avoid ending up to your arm pits in peat bog can make progress slow!

Apart from forming a bog it does have some other uses.

Somewhere relatively dry for lunch

Plenty of wildlife

The weather has been mixed however this seems to add to the drama of the scenery (or so we keep telling ourselves!)

Could have been worse we could have been in a tent. Probably not the best time to float my cycle touring idea!
