Excitement grew as we began our 10-day adventure around the Outer Hebrides. 

Day 1 
Bayble pier was our first camp spot in the Isle of Lewis. 
Tolsta beach - one of the island's best surf spots.
Shawbost - our next wild camping spot-  Hebridean blue cheese Mushrooms for tea. (link here: https://bit.ly/2TIkK0z)

Day 2
Whalebone Arch - 80ft whale’s jaw bone made into an archway, dating back to 1920.
Norse mill and Kiln - preserved thatched dwelling used by blacksmiths until 1930’s.
Dailbeag beach
Calanais standing stones - over 5000 years old - predating Stonehenge.
Bosta beach our next spot - unfortunately, we lost our video footage here but we do have our still images 

Day 3 
Crossed into the Isle of Harris
Derelict whaling station - formerly a Norwegian settlement used up until the 1920’s. 
Luskentyre Beach
Van tour of beaches as the weather turned.
Leverburgh Ferry port - sleep spot ready for our next ferry at 11am the next day. 

Island life was tranquil and peaceful. Often we did not see anyone for hours. The roads were empty, the sea a stunning blue and we learned how to relax.

 We promise to learn the place names better!
