    Love this! New questions and thoughts:
    1. What is bardcore?
    2. Do you have to have cash on you for these honesty boxes?
    3. Are you that old now that you can't stay up till midnight for a sunset?
    4. ...what was on your foot jack?
    5. Was the seaweed nice?
    6. Jo saying what we're all thinking 'oh here we go again'
    7. Reef beach looks like its straight out of Aus!
    8. Harris gin is sooooo good
    That's all for now!

      2. Always have cash with you!
      3. Definitely, the gin didn't help though
      4. Hahaha might have to rewath this..?
      5. Delightful, I'll forage some next time we're with you!
      6. 🤣
      7. Crazy ain't it!
      8. So good - no hangover! And it's infused with sugar kelp, which we ended up foraging!

      We did a week in total on Lewis and Harris this time, and we managed to fit in everything we wanted to, including a few rest days! If you have longer, then over 2 and a bit weeks you could squeeze in the Uists too!

      Please read the rules for visiting in motorhomes or campervans on the outer hebrides . You’ll see that there’s no wildcamping allowed in motorhomes or campervans. You’re asked to book somewhere to stay before you come. People parked in the Machair last year and destroyed parts of it. . The council have provided places to park up for a minimal amount t and also Aires. There were people emptying toilet cassettes in ditches and in lay-bys so the islanders are pretty fed up now. They also removed gates and parked on crofts, acrosss croft gates which was rectified by them being moved by farming machinery. Just tonight there were 6 parked at the local beach taking up the carpark. You might be lucky and not he approached by the locals or the police but as it says in the info there are some beautiful park up spots to be had and I’d encourage everyone to use them. You’ll get people saying oh we had no problem but that is changing because of the behaviour of some sorry

    Do you realise @TheseWildJourneys that there are plans for the island to be industrialised. 3-400 wind turbines being built on the island and the accompanying infrastructure. Gone will be the dark skies and views😢

    its quite a pity that people like you, make a video then ruin it with noise, I suspect that you call it music. such videos without noise/music are the best, although I should not imagine that you understand, or appreciate natural sounds.

      Hi Ron - thanks for contributing to the discovery of this video by commenting on it!
      It might surprise you that other people have different tastes when it comes to creating a video. And, before writing a comment, you must understand the difficulties in "recording nature sounds"
      Although perhaps you don't understand or appreciate how hard that can be on a windy island without specialist recording equipment? Of course, unlike you, we wouldn't say such mean things to a stranger on the internet.
      Hope you have a lovely day and discover some more videos that you prefer!
