    Looking back on the #HebrideanWay the lack of access to current events was simultaneously a relief and a bonus. I didn't know if the Tango paedophile was dead. Didn't watch much of the most corrupt World Cup. My head really did settle into a beneficial place. I've only been back on the news hamster wheel for a week and I'm already ready to Hulk Smash sh*t up. Burnham's dismissal of our right to referendums just topped it all off. Gah!

    Beyond belief. The sun is actually trying to break through. Not by much but it's definitely up there.

    Should see the famous Hercules the bear memorial tomorrow. I'll definitely detour for that. Please, please can I have a dry day?

    Now that I've stopped for the day I feel like I've been kicked up and down the street of your choice. There are easy 15 milers and then there are today. No ticks as yet and it's too windy for the midges if they even exist here. Fairly short section coming up - 7 miles - and I'm dreaming of Lucozade and a Magnum. Possibly some dry roasted. I'd even accept a Ginsters.

    Made it to Ardmhor by the skin of my teeth after a very boggy section. Up to my knees once and on my arse twice. Onwards to Eriskay which, luckily, is a bit flatter.

    Small bonus! Don't have to charge buses at Fort William. Quick coffee in Sneckie and then onwards! Food, gas and chlorine water tablets also ended up being cheaper than anticipated. Nae porridge available so chilli for breakfast!

    Packed my backpack. Double checked everything. Unpacked my backpack. Changed my backpack to an old reliable. That's it except for grub and gas. 5 days or 4 days? There appears to be a load of shops and cafes on the way up. Sabbath Sunday doesn't help. Onwards!

    Apparently there's only 1 ferry per day from Oban to Castlebay except on a Wednesday. Hmm. Awkward.

    It's taken me a while to get round to writing this up. For one thing, it took me a long time to recover from riding it! I'm now starting to plan my 2026 trips though so I wanted to get this one out of the way before I start up the pedals again.

    @Blackhound @tpuddle I hope you have a great trip. It is a stunningly beautiful part of the world.

    When I rode the #HebrideanWay, the hotel in Tarbert was my Sunday salvation.

    Apparently, Calmac are rationing bookable bike spaces to the Isle of Barra. Of course, what they don’t tell you is that you can turn up and travel with your bicycle. There are only 12 bookable spaces, but 18 came off the boat tonight.
    It’s not entirely clear why they’re trying to limit the number of bicycles on the boat. 🤔

    This will have serious implications for those planning to complete the #HebrideanWay as limiting the numbers at the start limits the numbers all the way through to Lewis

    Urlaub ist genehmigt worden. Im Mai wandere ich 500km durch #Schottland. Zumindest ist das der Plan.
    Ich starte nördlich von #LochLomond und wandere bis #Ullapool. Dann geht's entweder weiter nördlich nach #CapeWrath oder über den #HebrideanWay wieder nach Süden.

    @Nick

    Thanks for sharing Nick.
    I cycled the Hebridean way in 1988 and came across Callanish standing stones almost by accident. My first big trip from Australia. I wanted to get away from southern England and Wales so took a train to Oban, Fronted up at the Oban Ferry terminal in the morning and decided to catch the ferry to Barra and island hop with my bicycle. Stumbled on Callanish.on Lewis. It was a great week of cycling. Memorable. The midges were pretty fearsome, though. 3 pics from that trip.

    The ferry to start the Hebridean Way is 5 hours…and that’s after getting to Oban! Bloody hell. This is going to take some planning. #HebrideanWay #MakingPlansFor2023

    Hebridean Way Epilogue

    Getting home Epilogue location Epilogue map <<< >>> On our final few hours in the Outer Hebrides, it was raining incessantly. Congratulating ourselves for choosing the right time to leave, we snuck out of the hostel early in the morning to catch the first ferry back to the mainland. Our final view of the Outer Hebrides was obscured by the mist. I had had great fun on the Hebridean Way, right up until the day of tarmac walking on the final stretch into Stornoway. There was such a variety […]

    Hebridean Way Day 12

    Tràigh Ghearadha to Butt of Lewis (14 mi / 22.5 km) Day 12 location Day 12 map <<< >>> Somehow, there were even more midges when I woke up in the morning than there was the night before. I covered myself from head to toe in midge spray and packed up my tent as quickly as I could. By the time that I had my heavy rucksack back on, I was absolutely coated in dead midges. A couple of campervans had stayed in the car park at the back of the beach overnight, but evidently it was still too […]

    Laxdale to Tràigh Ghearadha (14 mi / 22.5 km) Day 11 location Day 11 map <<< >>> I had another day composed entirely of roads ahead of me, so I found it rather hard to rouse myself to action in the morning. Whilst we were eating breakfast in the campers’ kitchen, a light rain shower further delayed me as I waited for my tent to dry in the sunshine that followed. Eventually, I convinced myself to get changed into my walking clothes, which is when I found a small tick on my leg that […]

    Hebridean Way Day 10

    Achmore to Laxdale (11.5 mi / 18.5 km) Day 10 location Day 10 map <<< >>> We had a lazy morning in our camping pod ahead of what I anticipated would be a quick and easy final day on the Hebridean Way. Dragging ourselves back into the world of the living, we battled through the only slightly abated wind back up to the car. After a short drive on the main road to the east, I jumped out of the car in the layby in Achmore where I had finished the walk yesterday. Immediately, I turned back to […]

    Aline Community Woodland to Achmore (16.5 mi / 28 km) Day 9 location Day 9 map <<< >>> My damp clothes from yesterday’s side trip up An Cliseam were all dry by the time we woke up in the morning. We were making an early start to the day because I wasn’t entirely certain of how far I would have to walk, due to a diversion, or the conditions of the ground underfoot. After bidding farewell to a cosy home for the last two nights, we drove back along the twisting road through the mist and […]

    Hebridean Way Interlude

    Side trip to An Cliseam (4 mi / 6 km) Interlude location Interlude map <<< >>> Due to our St Kilda trip being cancelled again, we ended up with another spare day. Rather than wasting it on nothing, I decided to climb to the summit of An Cliseam, the highest point of the Outer Hebrides. I estimated that I would be able to get up and down in under four hours, so we spent the morning relaxing in the lovely hostel hoping that the mist would lift over the higher peaks. That wasn’t the case […]

    Tarbert to Aline Community Woodland (14 mi / 22.5 km) Day 8 location Day 8 map <<< >>> Whilst we had the dorm room to ourselves, I found it very stuffy and did not sleep particularly well. To make my bad start to the morning worse, our St Kilda trip that we were due to go on tomorrow was cancelled again whilst we were eating a big breakfast. Providing some ray of hope was the fact that my mother’s cough had all but gone without any further complications. After slowly packing away, we […]

    Seilebost to Tarbert (15 mi / 24.5 km) Day 7 location Day 7 map <<< >>> Whilst the weather remained horrid throughout most of the night, it was a bright, sunny day by the time that we woke up. We pottered around until late in the morning, giving our tents plenty of time to dry before packing them away, finding it much easier to do so without yesterday’s strong wind. We drove back to where I had left the trail beside the road in Seilebost a couple of days ago. My mother had decided to […]

    Hebridean Way Interlude

    Rest day in Luskentyre Interlude location Interlude map <<< >>> I needed a rest after yesterday’s endeavours. Fortunately, the cancellation of the St Kilda trip meant that we now had a spare day in which to do nothing. Due to still being on the standby list for Tuesday, I didn't want to march on too far to the north on the off chance that the trip does indeed go ahead. Thus, we made the most of our indoor comfort until the check-out time from the B&B late in the morning. After buying […]

    Leverburgh to Seilebost (12.5 mi / 20 km) Day 6 location Day 6 map <<< >>> My mother’s condition hadn’t worsened overnight, so either the vaccinations were proving effective, or it was a different, milder virus. Either way, we tried to stay out of the way on our table during our tasty, cooked breakfast, before I was due to set off on what is known as the toughest section of the trail. Originally, this day had been set aside to sail to St Kilda from Leverburgh docks, so I had booked […]

    Beinn Langais to Leverburgh (16 mi / 26 km) Day 5 location Day 5 map <<< >>> Our tents remained hooked into the ground through the night, although the wind remained strong and was accompanied by some light rain. Regardless, we managed to sleep soundly so had the strength to cling onto our belongings as we fought to return them to the car fairly early in the morning. By the time that we had driven back to the car park by the woodland at Beinn Langais, the wind had reduced somewhat and all […]

    Liniclate to Beinn Langais (22 mi / 35 km) Day 4 location Day 4 map <<< >>> Neither of us slept well, me due to a broken pillow and my mother due to the cold weather. This wasn’t the best preparation for me for another over twenty miles of walking. I sluggishly packed up quite early in the morning and arranged to meet my mother part of the way through the day. Leaving her behind at the campsite, I trudged back up along the road to rejoin the Hebridean Way as it turned past a hotel […]

Whilst walking between the bedroom and kitchen buildings, I was delighted to find that the rain had cleared, and I could see the peaks of the tall hills to the east. After chatting with the other Hebridean Way walkers and cyclists, I bid farewell to my mother and returned back up the track to the […]

With no time to hang around, we quickly ate breakfast and packed up to drive back to the ferry port at Ardmhor. Upon reaching the queue of vehicles, I jumped out of the car to be a foot passenger so that I could say that I had walked every step of the Hebridean Way. It was only a short wait before a cyclist and I were ushered onto the small ferry, […]

They had mostly set off by the time that we emerged from our tents after catching up on sleep after a long travel day. We quickly ate our breakfast whilst being feasted upon ourselves by swarms of midges, then packed everything away and ran back to the car at the community […]

    Getting there Prologue location Prologue map <<< >>> In the five weeks since completing the Southern Upland Way, my severely broken arm had almost completely healed and, miraculously, I had avoided breaking any other bones. With a clean bill of health, I left work on Friday night lugging along even more weight than usual in the midst of yet another heatwave. After meeting my mother at the station, we hauled our many bags onto a weather delayed train which eventually transported us to […]
