After an uneventful 40 miles from Lochboisdale, down the flat landscape of South Uist, over the causeways of Benbecula, we stop off at Lochmaddy on North Uist, with a view to staying here overnight if we find accommodation and sustenance. The description in the Rough Guide conjours up a vision of Las Vegas, so we scan the horizon for glimpses of neon lights and fireworks. Fortunately the chippie van is still open, as everything else is closed. We are seriously tempted by Pizza Crunch, with a Deep Fried Mars Bar to follow, but settle for a large Fish Supper. Having now exhausted Lochmaddy's range of tourist attractions, we decide to continue our journey as planned to Berneray, and take our chances with the youth hostel there, a former crofter's cottage situated on a lonely headland.
