Forecast force nine winds and a severe weather warning for much of Scotland saw all ferries from oban grounded and my parents (trusty support crew) and I scratching our heads as to how on earth we were going to get to our B&B on barra that evening. Fortunately, a quick cake stop with wifi access allowed us to book the last remaining place on the Monday ferry from Uig to Lochmaddy and twenty phone calls later we also had somewhere to sleep.
The downside is that I will sadly be missing day one on Barra, but we did get to enjoy a particularly delicious meal at cafe arriba in portree last night so all is not lost :-)
The forecast for gale force winds looks like the adventure is going to be a breezy one, but Eriskay here we come!
