FEELING REFLECTIVE

Today I read through my blogs for the first time. Strange reading back, somethings seem so irrelevant now. The bad weather I seem to mention alot in my blogs but in all honesty, it wasn’t overly bad, it could have been worse. The hard weather days that stick in mind was the drive from Wick …

Day 14 Sorbie to Annan

It did rain last night again but it has gone off by morning time. The usual shammy dry tent and we were off on the road towards Annan. Our first stop would be a little shop in Wigtown, where we would get some breakfast. I had a bacon roll and the others had a breakfast …

Day 13 Maidens to Sorbie

Well the sleep on the farm field was cold and we were awoken at 6:30am with locals who had come to let their horses out the stables so it was all very noisy. The toilet wasn’t the best. £10 per person, if you were a biker I suppose it would be good but for us, …

Day 10 Skye to Glencoe

We tried to book on the early morning ferry from Armadale but unfortunately it was booked out so we had to opt for the 11:45am one. The positive would be we would get a good rest. However that was not to be. A group of young cyclist arrived later in the evening and were quite …

Day 9 Shieldaig to Skye

As expected today was going to be horrid. We did hope that the weather man might have got it wrong but nope. We woke up to heavy rain but it did ease when we started taking the tent down so that was a bonus. We set off heading further south around the loop towards Applecross. …
