It is very hot here, or at least very hot for us as the temp is in the mid 80s and very humid. We have wanted to re-visit the Outer Hebrides for almost 50 years and their weather of dry low70s for a week seems like the ideal opportunity. On our last visit we hitch hiked for 10 days in cold driving rain with 1 dry day. Our first few days are in Barra, near the airport, and we are camping, old style with a tent and no electricity, probably no internet. After that we are travelling up through the islands and spending a week on Harris, one of the world's great photo locations. The likelihood is that the skies will be hazy as we have had a high pressure zone over us for more than a month but white sand, rocks and Atlantic rollers will do me even if the skies are poor. Downsides: sunrise 04:30, sunset 22:30 plus we are into midge season. I hope to make you all jealous in a couple of weeks when I return with heaps of seascapes and perhaps a few bird shots. We are sailing but I include a link to Barra Airport, the video at the bottom should make you smile. Ken. barra-airport
