Scotland UK hiking walking trekking
berneray-hebridean-way-sign
-
- Surprising trail signage south of Carinish.
-
- Bizarre pockmarked landscape looking towards Beinn na Coille
-
- The Community Forest is something of a work in progress.
-
- Bonus breakfast in the rather genteel Langass Lodge. Arctic Skua was a hike tick through the lounge window as I ate this.
-
- More Hebridean weather incoming…
-
- Derelict vehicles are everywhere in the Outer Hebrides but at least this one at Lochmaddy is growing tomatoes.
-
- A swamp with a view on Beinn Mhor, Berneray behind.
-
- Ramshackle stile in otherwise impassable deer fence.
-
- Final view of North Uist from the shoulder of Beinn Mhor.
-
- You could be anywhere…
-
- One of Scotland’s less effective deer fences at Langass.
-
- The bushes around these lochans were full of Stonechats, chinking away to each other in the strengthening sunshine.
-
- Classic Outer Hebrides at Blathaisbhal.
-
- Rejoining the trail, we find a nice, clear turf path, coming presumably from Carinish.
-
- Stone circle on Croanabhal, Beinn Langass ahead to right.
-
- Pobull Fhinn stone circle. ‘Where?’, I hear you cry.
-
- Berneray octopus salad, with the perhaps slightly unusual but unexpectedly successful addition of gherkins. I always have gherkins with my octopuses now.
-
- There may have been no hot drinks in the Calmac terminal but somebody had left e a very useful Cliff Richard DVD.
-
- Gatliff Trust Hostel on Berneray
-
- Causeway to Berneray.
-
- Dun an Sticer, the Fort of the Skulker, is that small green island. On the right behind, Beinn Mhor.
-
- Hope the tide doesn’t come in while I’m skulking…
