It became important to keep saying that Uig is on Skye. Uig is just a word which means bay and we came across other Uigs elsewhere.
Our Uig campsite suffered from being far too wet. Cars could not be put next to tents and this led to a crowded look up the central track, but the tents had their own isolation. And after a night of rain, the morning greeted us with some glimpses of sunshine – so here’s the tent with the early brightness on it – and not a car in sight.
How glorious!
Another view, from the tent, shows the more crowded looking aspect of the site as the ferry, Hebrides, arrives from the outer islands.
Rain returned and we delayed our departure for a while before taking the road north out of Uig – north and upwards so we were able to take a view down on the campsite.
And now a zoom in on the tent. Ours is the fawny brown one.
The jetty at Uig with ‘Hebrides’ still docked.
“All around the Bay-ay”, as a person once said at Exmouth in Devon as he tried to drum up custom for his boat trips.
Once, when holidaying in
Cornwall we were on Bodmin Moor in similar weather to this when an American lady
came to us and said, 'Gee, this is so authentic'. So rather than say things like
the weather was wet, misty or just bad, we refer to it as 'authentic weather'.
It makes us feel better or are we just mad?
Once again, we see the harbour area and the campsite as we started to head across to the east coast.
Local animal life could be found on the hills above Uig.
