Outer Hebrides advise

We did the trip in reverse in our 6m PVC. We crossed from Ullapool to Stornoway, worked our way down the islands and returned via the Barra to Oban route. We spent about 2 weeks on the islands and saw most of the sights. If you’re into walking, you might want to allow longer.

This has been discussed several times on the forum (where your thread will probably be moved to) and a search might reveal some info. 

The various websites, including CalMac, suggest places of interest and campsites. I can list the ones we used if needed but it was a few years ago now and you might be better looking up the current offerings. Don’t forget to check for CLs and the other club's CSs if you’re a member. I’ll put a few links at the end. Shout out if you need any more info.

We had no trouble getting fuel or shopping but don’t expect to find many places to eat out. Everything closes on a Sunday as the islanders are followers of Sunday Observance and you are requested not to even hang washing out on a Sunday.

Thanks very much and that's most helpful!

I hope so. Enjoy the trip. We'd planned to go again but the pandemic got in the way.

I found one of the old threads -

Have a look at Andrew Ditton's YouTube Channel. He used to live in the Outer Hebrides and posted several videos about visiting for the first time with either a caravan or motorhome including details of ferries and where to stay.
