trip to Sula Sgeir and North Rona

Today I am using a photo sent by Allan from his phone. Beautiful morning and calm seas at Butt of Lewis as they head north to visit remote islands.....over 2 hours to get there!
Looks idyllic but more awesome picture in link.

Nice idea using the map! We've got a 5 hour ferry journey to Barra tomorrow!

@sarah19 Thanks. Looks very windy but we've got our waterproofs and our fleeces, so we'll just walk anyway! Camera, book, audiobook, games on phone,food, beer for entertanment for 5 hours. :-)

Oh Sallie how you must wish you were there too !! Lucky old Allan hope he's really enjoying it ! Good that you can get a feel of the trip through his photos !

Hope he's a good sailor! Sounds like a wonderful trip - not much chance to practise the Gaelic there though...?

@jmj Hi Jenny - his fellow travellers are all studying Gaelic so don't think there would be anything else!!! Good to know they are back in mobile zone!
