We never quite got to Fingal’s Cave and hope that this visit
to the Outer Hebrides and Western Highlands will be the first of many. There is still so much to explore. Although we struggled en route to find places
open for tea, coffee or a meal, the population seem to be well-served by a
handful of Cooperative supermarkets with polite staff. The collective efforts to represent local
producers, artisans and businesses, the absence of the usual high street brands
really allow one to appreciate the individual charm and character of the
Islands. We could have has better
weather but the saving grace was that the rain and wind kept the midges away.
All in all, it was a tough couple of days’ cycling, but a
great test for the new bikes and the Rohloff gearing. We stopped off at Shand Cycles on the way
back and thanked them again. We
explained that everywhere we went, people admired the bikes and hopefully, we
have made a few more sale leads for them.
