The mountainous Isle of Harris offers a real challenge to walkers visiting the Outer Hebrides, the landscape is very lunar and a long way from civilisation. Navigational skills here are paramount as very few areas contain pathways or markers of any description. If you stray off course in this wilderness it's unlikely you will be found!
Please maintain social distancing - keep at least 2 metres away from other walkers.
