What is the easiest way to get there and spending 5 days in June would it be good for bikes, beaches and peace. Love Arran fancy Mull maybe just cant make up our minds

Harris for me ..the riding is excellent , beaches ..world class, and getting there ..Calmac ferry from Uig on Skye ..

Now all you need is decent weather and a good midge repellent ..

Uist has some nice beaches, Lochmaddy Hotel is the best I've found when i visit for work.  The riding would pretty much only be worth keeping to the road though IIRC.

Harris has the best beaches and the best roads/scenery.

Both are brilliant and great contrasts. Beaches are perfect.

Uist. We'll be there in the summer again. 4th year out of 5.

My in-laws live in Lewis so getting to Harris is easy for us.

Either, it's not a strain getting from one to the other. In fact why not both. Skye to uist, over to Harris, up to stornoway back to Ullapool.

What kind of riding on Harris?

I'm going to be staying there for a couple of weeks in April. Getting away form the city to revise for my exams, going to stay at a wee hostel near Tarbert. Best off taking my CX bike or hardtail?

Could take both actually...?
