Be prepared for a lot of road walking and boggy moors. Mobile courage was limited on the southern islands, unless you are with EE. Nothing is opened on Sundays, so be prepared that. I started my adventure on the southern part of Vatersay, where there is a superb beach to camp on. We took a taxi from the ferry port to the official start ( cost 拢15) and then walked another 2 miles to the beach

Varied trail, tricky in parts however it was all worth it for the epic views!
