Day 5 Actual

Travelling north, Carinish, or Cairinis, is the first settlement you reach after crossing the causeway that takes you to the island of North Uist.

The first thing you are likely to see when travelling in this direction is a large white building that used to be the Carinish Inn, but has since been converted to a church. You are unlikely to notice it, but half a mile before you reach the Carinish Inn, the main road, single track at this point, passes right through the centre of the Carinish Stone Circle.

The Dark Island Hotel

The long dead-straight road to Reuval

And still the road goes on and on ......

At the cross roads with the A865 Jim & Lesley opted to go the Reuval route and to climb the 124m high peak; Mick opted to avoid boggy land and climbing and took the road route around the other two sides of a square.

Reuval straight ahead
