Hecla and Friends

Day One in South Uist.

We left Skye in miserable weather and didn't bother even looking out of the windows of the boat until we reached Lochmaddy where things looked a bit more promising.

By the time we reached South Uist the Hebrides were showing off their true colours and incomparable beauty.

After our hellos and hugs we got the bikes out and cycled down to the Machair where the kids played in the sea in their underwear for ages and us old friends got a chance to catch up.

There is nowhere on Earth to cmpare with the beauty of the Outer Hebrides.
