Harris - Outer Hebrides

Somewhere on the boundary between enjoyment and endurance; nice tight little communities self-sufficient as its a long way to the next. Delightful sandy beaches on the south west coast and some awesome weather about. Some excellent walks and swims, but a long way to the next, so some 30+ mile drives on single track roads essential, and that is only doing the southern half.
