A Woodland Walk at Langass.
I went to bed with a sunset on one side of the car, and woke with a sunrise on the other side. Ooooh, that looks promising.
But the weather can be very changeable, very quickly on the islands. I sat drinking my coffee and watched it turn into rain. Maybe I won't need the sun visor today.
Continuing my journey north I pulled into a car park with a sign that said Burial Ground, or something like that. There was a path up to a big pile of stones at the top of a small hill. Worth a look I thought. The wind was blowing sideways and the rain was battering my face. When I got there it was a bit of a disappointment. The pile of stones was a burial chamber. There had been access to look inside, but unfortunately the entrance had collapsed. A big notice warned of danger. I walked around the perimeter and beat a hasty retreat back to my car.
Yoootooober Andrew Ditton made a video about a woodland walk, which wasn't far away so I set off to find it. There is a car park with a notice at the entrance. There aren't many trees on the Hebrides, mainly due to the wind I think, so a wood to walk through is a treat.
The paths are nicely laid out and easy to follow. I always have a habit of getting lost in woods. There are some nice pictures on this site.
There is a statue of Hercules the bear, who became known worldwide in 1980 when he escaped while making an advert for Andrex on the island. He was recaptured after about 3 weeks and went on to feature in the James Bond film Octopusy. When Hercules died in 2001 he returned to the island and is buried in the woods. His owner died in 2019 and as was his wish, is buried alongside Hercules.
A video of my walk. It was kind of magical, like an enchanted forest.
After a pleasant though somewhat blustery walk it was time to get back on the road and continue my journey to the Ferry Terminal at Berneray, and return to Harris.
I went a walk yesterday so I have some pictures and a video of that, which I will post later. Almost at the end of the Hebrides holiday, a bit more to come.
Thanks for popping in. We'll catch up soon.
