Roll out the Barra

Tomorrow morning I'm going into Oban to stock up a little bit - mainly on fresh fruit and veg. And then off to the real wilds.

Around 1 o'clock I will be on the five-hour ferry trip to Barra. There is hardly anything there - it takes 40 minutes to drive round the whole thing, there are no campsites, and certainly therefore no electric hook-ups, and I don't know what the mobile signal will be like.

We will see how far the reach of Vodafone extends: but if you don't hear for a wee while, it's because I've gone Hebridean: from Barra, I'm going to Eriskay, to South and North Uist, and then on to Harris and Lewis.
