Thanks all for suggestions and tips - I will check each one out.
In all honesty, aside from the stopover point, I guess I was curious if others had partaken in these MSCC Travel club arranged tours (and enjoyed them) and also assuming the ferries were open, if they were long trips or eg always in sight of the land/islands? I don’t have a real concept of the distance between Skye, North Uist, Isle of Harris and then on to Ullapool. Simply trying to reassure Lady HB, coz if she ain’t convinced, we ain’t going!!!! I presume that if the weather in July causes ferry cancellations that the Club has plan Bs in mind. Eg more time on Skye/west coast etc.
Thanks again for any knowledge imparted
HB
