A Caledonian MacBrayne, or CalMac, ferry, with Ben More on the Isle of Mull in the background, heads towards Oban on the mainland. We will make extensive use of CalMac ferries on our tour, having purchased Island Rover passes which allow unlimited ferry travel for eight days. The route we are following has more or less been determined by the CalMac timetable, so the longest voyage is the crossing from Oban to Lochboisdale on South Uist today. At one time there were no ferries between the Outer Hebrides on Sunday, but recently a service between Berneray and Harris has been introduced, allowing us to compile a circular itinerary starting today. Bikes travel free, and as foot passengers, reservations aren't necessary, so we can still change our plans if required.
