It's a hard life Steve but good to know there are volunteers like yourself who are prepared to put themselves out to suffer it.

Must be hell to get home to suburbia .... oh, hang on, hmm. Well, maybe not in your case of course, but for anyone else ...

Edit....just shown the Mrs and daughter the pictures and now google is being searched for "places to stay on the isle of Harris"...... I never knew what a stunning place it is until viewing the pictures, another day and something else new learnt......thank you.

That reminds me, I've not planned a Scotland trip this year. I need one every year, it's such a wonderful place.

'Cloud spilling over the saddle' half way down the page is quite stunning. That must have been some view. I've seen cloud inversions in the Lakes before, but nothing quite so dramatic as this.

Some amazing shots as always, Steve and a beautiful place! Very jealous.

The cloud spilling over the saddle looks like it could be in the Alps/Rockies/NZ somewhere. Breathtaking.

Slightly too many sheep I think. Thats all the criticism I could find.

I bet that pano is rather huge!

We usually stay at the Rodel Hotel, but it was full so stayed here: http://harris-holiday.co.uk/default.asp (Fab) Harris is STUNNING in good weather and CRAP in bad weather as there is nothing at all to do. If I had a family, I'd book a place on the mainland on Skye or near Ullapool (Ferry terminals) and if it was good weather pop across for a couple of days. There's a good campsite at Horgabost on Harris. Easter will more likely be better weather than summer - and no midges.

Thanks for the comments chaps... Wasn't my VDub (But I've owned one in the past). Oh and Rob... that sheep is my dog!

Good to see the crap weather kept up for you, no-one back in Germany believes that we were on Skye due to the suntans we returned with biggrin
