Almost ready for tomorrow - Island Hopping in the Hebrides

Good to see Absinthe on Skye. Very smart set up.
Good blog,thanks for including Bluebell.
Following your recommend we decided to visit Lewis & Harris and it was every bit as good as you said.
Back home now with a list of must do jobs on Bluebell.

Hey Bob, it's been a while, good to hear from you.

Hi Tim, look in on the site quite often as it's a fountain of information. Always seem to find somebody who's solved a problem..
Bluebells job list includes:
Body dent due to careless driving on my part next to garden wall.
Rear wheel arch rust .
Roof strut ball joint repair.
Install switch in rear to turn radio off at night.
Install push button for water pump as second tap switch has failed.
New fan belt.as original is getting slack.
Try to ease drivers side door winder.
Try to improve dash lighting.

Did like the look of Absinthes lite steer but not quite ready for this yet.

Good to meet you Bob. It's a small world.

Our driver-side window was hard to wind. I thought some lubrication was needed.
But then I noticed that one end of the rubber scraper along the bottom edge of the glass had tucked itself over into the gap. Straightened this out and no further problems.

Like the epic where you have erected you own wind sock!

Looks like a great trip. I plan to head that way when I stop working, unfortunately a long way off.

great pictures- brings back memories of our trip to west coast and Skye last year, scenery was absolutely stunning

I've finally got round to making a video - here's part of our Tour of Harris in Absinthe:



More to follow when I find some more time...

Fab video . Looks like a great drive :-)

hey in what for a time did you drive? nobody cames driving too on the road. if you drive in germany, you will never drive allone as you drive.
when i drive to early shift sometimes at 04:00 o clock in the morning, than i drive sometimes allone, but no more time longer since 5 minutes.
sometimes i wish, i could drive a long day allone.
cool video AbsintheKombi.
all the best from me to you

There isn't much traffic on the Hebrides, Michel - the video was shot during the afternoon - most of the roads are single track with passing places and everyone gives you a cheery wave as they pass by.

Here's a second video. Leaving the campsite on Barra to drive to the Ferry to Eriskay.
