Big Trip 2024 8 - The Outer Hebrides Harris and Lewis Motorhome Touring Scotland 2024

Part 8 - The Outer Hebrides, Isle of Harris and Isle of Lewis Our 6 week motorhome tour of England, Scotland and Wales continues in the Outer Hebrides. This episode covers 3 days on Harris & Lewis, where we enjoy some Loch-side parking, enjoy a few games of Backgammon (hmmm). We visit a standing stone, enjoy a couple of woodland walks and end with a visit to the lesser visited Callanish 8 Stone Circle. 0:03 Taking the ferry from Bernerary to Leverburgh 1:37 The McLeod Standing Stone, Harris 4:45 West Harris Camping Spots 5:52 How we spend our evenings! .. Backgammon - Who is cheating? 9:00 The Rollercoaster roads of Harris & Lewis 13:00 Ardvoulie Community Woodland 16:10 On the road repairs 17:00 Aline Community Woodland and Park up for the night 20:46 Evening Banter Chat, What we are missing, where we are heading and out thoughts so far. 26:04 Driving to West Lewis 26:55 Uig Community Centre, trying Bridies, Walk to Heritage Centre 30:15 Callanish 8 Stone Circle (or semi circle) There are no services at the West Harris Camping Spots, no bins - just beautiful views. There are many 'proper' campsites in the area if that is your preference. If you've ever fancied trying overnight parking in a lay-by, these camping spots are an ideal 'off-grid' introduction in a safe environment. The views were incredible, we shared the layby with 2 other vans on the night we stayed there. Overnight parking is also allowed at Ardvoulie Woodland and Aline Woodland for a small charge, there are no services at either of these spots, but Aline does have a bin. The Loch-side parking spot at Callanish 8 has no overnight parking restrictions (but it's right on the corner of the road and only suitable for 6m or under in length) we didn't spend the night here - but it wouldn't have been a top choice for us. Uig Community Centre laundry was £15 for a large load wash and dry. (Sounds expensive, but you can fit in more clothes than a standard washing machine.. at a guess it's the equivalent of 2 loads) You do need to take your own laundry pods. It also has a well stocked shop with local produce (it's where we got the Bridies). The Uig Heritage Centre is cash only for the museum section (only £3 per person) and there is also a café for light lunches and coffee. http://www.ceuig.co.uk/ Thanks for watching (and reading), do hit that like button if you're here - your support is very much appreciated. "The Van" is a McLouis Fusion 331 (we haven't named it yet, and might not!!) and it is just the perfect size for the two of us on the road. This 6 week trip is a bit of a vanlife taster for us, we've only had the van for a few months and never been away in it for more than 3 nights at a time - before this big adventure. We had no idea if we'd make it, if we'd get on each others nerves or be pinning for our little luxuries!! This is the next chapter of our life together and we are very excited about all the places we can go! We are still settling into the Van and are still finding our way with what we need, but starting to settle in. Navigating the space, the issues, the fixes and everything else that newbie motorhomers get to deal with.
