Harris / Lewis?

[Udders]

Anyone on here live out there? I've been over there numerous times on holiday and love it. May have a pootle up again this year.

 

[Udders]

I'll take that as a "no" then.

 

[Coolcarbon]

Been there many times and loved it, but live there full time.....

 

[Udders]

Me and the wife would love to live there!
Neally moved there about 10 years ago.

Went a weeks fishing there about 10 years ago fabulous place ,we were based in Harris,but made our way up to Stornoway on the sunday for a pint .Callanish must be seen ,Almandsuie castle (pardon the spelling )is also worth a look.And as Gerrard says the beaches are stunning.

my preference is to go to Lewis first then head south to Harris.

1/ You'll be glad what your leaving
2/ You'll be glad when you see what you are entering.

Berneray has a grand machair on it's west side, lovely grassy slope all the way down from the Islands water tank to the sea.

Some folk say eating a lot of Marmite stops them biting you, other folk say they'd rather be eaten alive.

Avon skin so soft......so last year!!

'Smidge' is the stuff, now available pretty widely..or on line.

Most important thing is to take time to explore, otherwise you'll blast down the islands in no time and stand twiddling your thumbs waiting for the next ferry, wondering what all the fuss was about. Park up and have a donder.

Never mind yer ' so last year' I'm from Argyll, we're still in the last century..
