Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson's other half composed the lyrics and she also provided the Black riders high pitched scream in the films.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-72665205108456190692014-09-26T00:32:06.851+01:002014-09-26T00:32:06.851+01:00Evening Jim,

Last time I was in that pub in Uig it was filled with leather clad bikers, Motorhead were blasting out Ace of Spades on the jukebox and a great night was had by all. Seemed a bit too tame this time around.<br />Skin so soft is good.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-40105106398446638342014-09-26T00:29:08.806+01:002014-09-26T00:29:08.806+01:00Beautiful photos, just gorgeous.

In the USA, they were released at Christmas time for 3 years in a row and our son loved them too.<br />Beautiful song too.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-5008276435311707252014-09-26T00:26:50.058+01:002014-09-26T00:26:50.058+01:00Hello Paul,

Sligachan campsite is £6 too and it has a busier feel to it and a wider variety of hills.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-75593583529519553832014-09-26T00:21:29.193+01:002014-09-26T00:21:29.193+01:00Hi Carol,

Very faint path in places after Clisham but not obvious.<br />You can see the bus depot in the Tarbet photo and I think our bus is the furthest away. A few elderly locals were conversing in Gaelic on it which was nice to here. Felt like the Outer Hebrides after that.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-77015874690063166382014-09-25T23:00:50.023+01:002014-09-25T23:00:50.023+01:00Fairy Glen in Uig is what I remember Bob.

One of my most memorable days watching the sun go down was on Benbecula on midsummers day.<br />Midges. The best repellent for Galloway midges is Avon's 'Skin So Soft', but the islanders might be a different breed.<br />You guys are still pretty intrepid to do stuff at that speed. I suppose the midges help ha ha.<br /><br />Cracking video<br /> The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-70482076179255750622014-09-25T16:46:23.439+01:002014-09-25T16:46:23.439+01:00Great photo's as usual and a very inspirationa...Great photo's as usual and a very inspirational trip report, Uig campsite sounds very good value indeed.<br />Paul.

Is the route obvious? is there some kind of path by now? If not, I suppose you could always go around it to the left...<br /><br />It still amazes me that there's buses around Harris - there were very few back in my day! Mind you, there weren't any hillwalkers on the islands back then - although, Clisham being a Corbett, maybe there were some doing that particular peak.<br />Carol.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
