Day 4 Sunday 28th April
Last night was very comfortable despite being woken up at one stage by the wind and rain battering the tent, but I don't think it lasted that long.

| On the road again |
It was a very nice morning when I packed up and carried on along the road. I had thought that maybe I would try a couple of hills today but the cloud was very low and the forecast lousy.

The weather slowly deteriorated during the morning and by the time I arrived in Tarbert. it was raining steadily. At least the hotel was open for lunch, everything else in Lewis and Harris is closed for the Sabbath.

I thought it would be nice to stay in the hostel but it was full, so after a quick look at Air BnB I found a caravan at Greosahbaigh that was reasonably priced.

I headed into the steadily increasing wind and rain and was glad to arrive as by that time the wind and rain were really howling round the caravan.

| Off the road for a while |
Camping in this area is almost impossible as the ground is either rock, under water, nearly underwater, or wet and covered with heather. Given the lack of shelter, good luck to anyone who tries it!
