Brings back some great memories, we cycle camped it 40 years ago. Train up to Fort William then biked. The A road from Portree to Staffin - Uig had grass growing along its centre! Not easy with m/bike gear but the walk up to the Old Man of Storr was really interesting (well I thought so) with all the wind eroded rocks. We went in May before the Midges got really active. Probably need to go in April now.
Would love to revisit but looking at the queues of traffic before Covid struck not for me. I try and find quieter places, plus the wife cannot walk so well now as arthritis has taken its toll.
Enjoy its wonderful.
