Eriskay Ferry
Fantastic offer on Cal Mac at the moment - Island Hopscotch - Steve Brailey and I did the following tour for £29.00
Start:
Lime Tree Fort William - Camus na Gael Ferry or Corran Ferry to Lochaline via Kingairloch -40miles. Stay at the Lochaline Hotel. Eat at the Whitehouse Restaurant
Day2. Easy or Hard day. Take the Fishnish ferry from lochaline to Mull. Take it easy for a cruise down to Craignure Ferry or 26 mile tour of Mull to Craignure. Ferry to Oban. Ferry from Oban to Barra. Stay at the Isle of Mull Hotel.
Sunset on Barra
Atlantic Beach - Harris
Day3. Fantastic roads of Barra to the Eriskay Ferry. Cross over to Eriskay to take the new causeway to South Uist. Move north on good roads to Benbecula thence by more causeway to North Uist. On to Lochmaddy - stay at the Lochmaddy Hotel. 60-70 miles
Day4. Up to new causeway to Bernaray and ferry to Leverbourgh on Harris. Take Atlantic road past world heritage beaches cut inland to Tarbet for ferry to Uigg, Isle of Skye. We banged on to Portree which makes it a long day!
Day5. As we were feeling strong we pushed south to Atmadale to catch the ferry to Mallaig. Refreshed by excellent Fish and Chips we made a really big push back to Fort William. - a feat I will not repeat!
Ideally this is a very feasable 7 day tour and such good value for money!
