Wind and midgies
3 years ago
Great experience, all the naysayers droning on about the wind and midgies were mostly wrong. We bought island hopper tickets in Oban and our itinerary was
Oban – Mull
Mull – Iona – Mull
Mull – Oban – Barra
Barra – South Uist
South Uist – North Uist
Noth Uist – Harris
Harris – Lewis
Lewis – Ullapool
every island was special in its own way, if I could do it again though I might miss out Mull in favour of Skye.
The whole journey took us about 12 days in total, all fairly easy going the only real hill climb was bewteen Harris and Lewis but beware a strong southerly wind can leave you feeling like you’ve cycled uphill all day.
