South Uist-Benbecula-North Uist-Beneray
Awoke to the the sound of rain falling on our tent, we lay
wondering when we could make a move.
Fortunately, the rain eased at 7am.
So we packed up and set off for the ferry terminal where we met
Neil. He had wild camped on the beach.
Landing at Eriskay, we cycled in misty rain northwards, not
much machair to be seen in the fog. The three islands are joined by
causeways. The scenery of South Uist and
Benbecula were fairly similar, the vistas opening up as we cycled on North
Uist. There were brief spells of
sunshine during the day peppered with light rain throughout. Shortly after 6pm, we stopped at the Lobster
Pot in Beneray for dinner before crashing out in our tent at the hostel run by
the Gatliffe Trust.
