Report

A week on the Hebridean Way Sunday 14 May 2023 to Saturday 20 May 2023 following the Cicerone guide book from Vatersay to Stornoway. 
We carried our kit but kept it light by staying at hostels and B&Bs. 
We met a handful of walkers following the same route (mostly seemed to be camping) but other than that didn't see many people anywhere. 
Very limited re-supply points and I'd say we needed more than the 2x 500ml water bottles we had each. 
We were very lucky with the weather. Mainly sunny with a wind keeping the temperature down and bugs away. Only 24 hours of rain over the week but the ground was pretty wet/waterlogged anyway. 
Mostly an obvious path to follow but very wet and muddy in places and a few sections you would want good weather or be conformable with map navigation to be sure you're going in the right direction. 
All in all an excellent week away!
