Staying so close to the Harris beaches meant that I was able to pay a few visits to each beach under different conditions and tides. However, I loved going to Luskentyre as it was so peaceful and beautiful. I found a new access point near the graveyard which enabled me to get close to the sand dunes and the ponies although it did mean I had to keep a close eye on the tide in case I got trapped on a sand bank.
My favourite visit was on Wednesday morning. I drove round the headland feeling disappointed that the cloud was so low and that there was no light. However, that soon changed and the sun broke through the cloud and lit up Taransay and saturated the colours in the sea. It was truly magical!
On the last afternoon of my holiday, not only did I find the 2 ponies but there was a lovely lenticular cloud over my favourite sand dunes.
