Drawing a blank at Lochmaddy, we return to Plan A, a night at Berneray Youth Hostel, which takes no advance bookings but does not turn away the weary traveller. The hostel is located on the northernmost tip of Berneray, after passing through the village of Borgh, where according to the Rough Guide, local character Splash McKillop once entertained the Prince of Wales to a story-telling evening, whilst peeling a mound of King Edward potatoes, possible the supplier to the chip van in Lochmaddy. Liam hasn't been inside yet, which is why he looks so cheerful. Later, I will be called to account for the quality of the accommodation, the arrangements for which I have been responsible.
