Anything but a Hebridean Idyll

Our Hebridean idyll began in anything but idyllic conditions! Despite the millpond crossing from Oban, our arrival at the delightful Borve campsite was met with raging winds and a sporty tent pitching!  Having survived that, we felt we could survive anything.  In true Hebridean style, two beautiful days on Barra lulled us into a false sense of security, before being put to the test again on South Uist.  In order to avoid the carnage experienced by a neighbouring tent, we had to act as human brace poles in Force 8 gales. But at least it was too windy for midgies!
