If yesterday was windy, today (Friday) was almost gale-like. We tried a hike on the West Side Trail -- 2-3 miles against the wind the entire way. And it was along the cliffs of the west side of Lewis. It was beautiful -- when I could look up. We cut it short and headed back. At one point, down into the last cove before our cottage, we hung onto each other to maintain our balance and keep moving ahead.
I loved the vernal pools and the wind rippling them.
We're grateful that the first 5 days were sunny and much less windy. The forecast had been for rain all week. Didn't happen.
Love it, but I'll be ready for urban hiking again. On to Glasgow.
