Another night under the tarp overlooking the beach .... But .... The wind dropped and the midge net unfurled for the first time. Light breeze now as I eat Brekkie and they're gone :-)

Packing now as friends arriving later and we'll drive to Grimsay.

Last night attacked smelly shoes with harpic pine fresh .... This morning I'm not sure which is worst!

Not having time to catch up on my diary, job for the next few days ....

What the toilet disinfectant!

Harpic? Clean round the bend!

Tents vs bivvy report after 1st night camping of this trip.
Tents are a right faff to put up and down compared to rolling out a bivvy.
Tents are colder as they don't wrap around you like a bivvy.
When packing up, a damp tent feels damper than a damp bivvy.
Tents have much more storage space, even little tents.
Tents give some respite from midges (luckily only had a few so far).

First night camping:

What tent is that Rob?

Can't remember the make - got it off fleabay but can find out when I'm home. It's a 'revolutionary zipless design' but not one I'd recommend. But it does the job for now.
