Ulva Hostel

And the final push to get everything ready for re-opening Ulva Hostel later this month. Back at the end of October, it always seems that there’s plenty of time to get all the jobs done, but there never is – especially with the weather playing its part – but we think we’ve done well this winter and got most things done now.

Just have two quad bikes to repair – one has been in the barn on Gometra since Christmas as there’s more wrong with it than right with it – and a RIB to sort out that was flooded on the pontoon a few weeks back.

ACFA – Association of Certificated Field Archaeologists (now known as Field Archaeology for All : Arc-eòlas do na h-uile) – have just left after having spent a week surveying the archaeology on the eastern side of Ulva and although they weren’t staying at Ulva Hostel, I spent time transporting them around the island and helping a little bit, poking and prodding at possible archaeological features.
