Lou & Ryan treat themselves with time off in the great outdoors and lots of local produce.

Oban has always been a place to visit for the day or a weekend for Lou and Ryan, but with some extra time off work, they decided to go a little further and explore the islands local to Oban. Short ferry journeys and a drive over The Bridge Over the Atlantic lets them discover the hidden gems of Kerrera, Lismore and Slate Islands.
