Finally, a 3G signal! I'm waiting in the ferry queue at Armadale on the Isle of Skye, and it is absolutely POURING with rain.
I'll do some retrospective posting when I can, with some pictures. My last campsite stop was at Strollamus on the east coast of Skye. It's a small site with amazing views and slightly challenging facilities. But the warden is friendly and very helpful, and that is a big plus. I had the best pitch on the site, almost in the loch!

I took the bus to Portree a couple of days ago, and it was just as I remembered it: shops full of tourist tat, fish and chip 'caffs', and the occasional expensive boutique (well, just one, actually!). I am coming to the conclusion that the islanders would really prefer you not to visit, but do the least when you do. Having said that, many of the shopkeepers are keen to help, so it must be something to do with the Island Council. There are a surprising number of English residents on Skye, and it seemed a bit strange to be served by an Englishman in the Tourist Information Office.
