Day 4 – Jura

Travel No campsites on Jura so it is all wild camping.  There is only one hotel and they actually let tents camp in their garden so no problem camping most places on the island unless there is a sign saying not to.   There is only one road that runs along the east side of the island.  The west side of the island is the best place to camp as you get sunsets and I am asking around to see if anyone knows of a track that will take you down to a good point.

Time to Travel                   1 hour
