nice camper too pop top 'sleeper... class

Superb pictures, I love Scotland, no where in the rest of southern europe feels so wild.

Did you go over the wire bridge on your Glen Nevis walk, thats a lovely valley. We had a billion midges attack us when we were there in August 2005. My two boys spent a good hour climbing and swinging on it though, with midge hats firmly in place.

Simon.

Fab pictures, nice one.

Hi Tezza and whole world

Thanks for comments. Ferry price was 202 for van and 2 adults. That was for 3 ferries oban-barra, barra-eriskay, and uist-skye. However prices are due to come down dramatically in October as part of some govt. regulations.

This link will explain road equivalent tarrif proposed for ferries to west isles

Great piccies jpee.
Thinking about the Outer Hebrides for next year using one of Calmacs 'Island Hopscotch' tickets.
Oban-Barra-Uist-Harris-Lewis-Ullapool is looking fave at the mo'.

Just got back from Arran, (see GC), it's a wonderful place and not 'too' far away

Excellent pics JPEE - it takes me back to May - and looks like you had similar excellent weather.

Just when you think they are quite a short distance South to north - you realise the Islands are very different and many areas deserve a more detailed explore. Ideal for the camper as you don't have to do many miles between overnights (great for the fuel cost) and can be somewhere completely different the following night.

Tis great going somewhere where wild camping isn't just accepted - it is expected An the views you can have from your pitch door........wow.

I love them islands and were prob off back every year.
