I’m looking to drive up from Cardiff and spend a week or so riding / wandering around the outer Hebrides. I’d look to leave the car at Malaig possibly, ferry to Armadale, head north and get the ferry from Uig to Harris, then ride down to South Uist before getting the ferry back to Malaig.
Is this a pretty standard loop?
I’d be doing it on my winter road bike, wild camp overnight, and possibly head up onto a couple of hills on foot if I have time and the temptations there, I’m thinking I’ll miss the best of the scenery being stuck on the road but my mountain bikes not been used for a good few years.
Any tips?
I’ve left it a bit late as I’m looking to go in July sometime, the other trip I had planned hasn’t come off though so this was plan B!
There’s no midgys on the islands right?
