Trip to the Hebrides, Scotland.

I would suggest you take two cameras, one for a back-up in case your main one lets you down. If you do get a problem with your only camera you would feel pretty sick without a spare.

I write here from the Western Isles; Isle of Lewis actually.

Meg and I will be driving or bussing by, sometime in June 2011. So when you see a couple of odd Canadians, with cameras, bumbling about or lost in the moors....it could be us.

Important stuff; waterproof and warm clothes. Boots.

We have this, living as we do in Canada, I just hope it is the right stuff.

Its a nice place here. Lots to see and do. Loads of nice people. And sheep.
do contact if you need any more info.

We wanna see standing stones, ruined castles, vistas and odd things. Nice people and sheep are good too.

You might be in midgie-zone at that time - wee biting beasties that like being near water

When I went to Arran I was told that drinking lots of beer worked as a midge repellant. I didn't go during midge season but I thought it would be best to follow that advice just in case.

I was afraid of this. Oh well I'll just have to drink beer. Does scotch help as well or just beer?

I guarantee Paul if you drink enough Highland Malt Whisky you won't worry about midges my friend, it's falling down water you will feel no pain.
