Bikepacking Scotland’s Outer Hebrides | Eriskay to Grimsay

🚴‍♂️ The Hebridean Way – Part 2: Bikepacking from Eriskay to Grimsay
Part two of my Hebridean Way bikepacking journey takes us from Eriskay north through South Uist, across the tidal flats of Benbecula, and on to the small island of Grimsay.
After a peaceful night camping by the sea, we set out into a landscape shaped by salt air, shifting skies, and centuries of wind and water. This stretch of the ride offers quiet roads, ancient peatlands, and a true feeling of remoteness.
If you’re into bikepacking, cycling the Outer Hebrides, or discovering wild places by bike, this episode is for you.
