Uig Mk II

Monday 7th May
Once again the sun was shining when we woke up, but it was not a clear sky and we did have a few showers during the day.
Today we drove to Uig on Lewis, this is our second Uig, the first was on Skye. Uig is remote and has both mountains and white sandy beaches. When we drove up the east side of Lewis we were not so impressed as we had been with other parts of the Hebrides, but the drive to Uig put Lewis back on the map.
In the afternoon we visited Great Bernera, this an island connected to Lewis via a bridge. We stopped to see a iron age house but did not stop long since dogs were not welcome in the area.
On the drive back to the campsite on Lewis we visited a number of stone circles.
Tonight we have pulled the roof of the van down, the temperatures dropped and when the roof is up it's a larger area to heat up. It's clouded over and a cold wind is blowing, I think the good weather may be over.
