Saturday 18th May

Time to move on and cross multiple causeways to North Uist. As previously our meanderings generally followed the “ring road” with occasional excursions up the side roads “just to see what’s there”. As forecast, the weather was dry but grey with strong winds again we didn't venture far from the van.

The landscape continued to be generally open moorland with very many small lochs and coastal inlets, the road meandering along, connecting isolated cottages and small communities. We often wandered what these people actually do but on reflection there is quite a lot of sheep and cattle as well as of course fishing.

Again none of the wild-camping points proved attractive to us so having spotted a campsite, we returned to Balranald and another new, small but fully equipped site. Where the weather turned stormy again, so batten down the hatches and listen to the Eurovision Song Contest!
