4 weeks and we're almost there

In four weeks time we will be packing to return to Skye and Harris.

Driving from Devon this time with stops in Lockerbie and Invergarry (couldn't resist this one)

Back to Skye on Tuesday 24th June (mid-summer's day) to visit some potential plots in the north of the island then on to the late ferry to Harris. We have three nights on Harris before the late ferry back again on the Friday evening. Then looking forward to a full week on Skye complete with more exploration and a good bit of walking - of a tough nature!  Cuillins and the Trotternish Peninsula both on the agenda. We are staying in the south of the island so new territory to explore.

This time on Harris we hope to take a trip out to Taransay itself as well as walk around the headland / coast that was rained off in April. It will be interesting to see how busy the island gets in high summer. Will also be interesting to see what high summer weather looks like.

Not forgetting the mighty midges - we are stuffed full of vitamin B, I am eating enough marmite for an army and we are looking to buy the tried and tested Avon SSS shower gel. Will be interesting to see how effective it is.

Mary (Dualchas) is off to Harris next week to take a look at three plots for us. We should get her reports soon after that which will give us a better idea of what might be a possibility.

In the meantime, the BMW has been traded in for a sturdier, higher wheelbase Mitsubishi capable of 4-wheel drive so we will be ready for whatever the weather and roads can throw at us. 

Back in Devon the house is now on the market and we wait to see what interest there might be.

Can go ahead with the plot and possibly groundworks but would be preferable if the house had sold too.

So, treading water for the moment but plenty of planning going on. Especially exciting to be thinking of what we want to design into our perfect house.

No photos as we can't photograph our thinking!

Gary is about to launch his own photography website which will showcase some of the best photos from the April holiday.

Will report back once we have Mary's findings and can plan some more.
