Change of plans

I wake up in the night at 2am with a lot of pain in my leg. On top my mattress deflated. In the next 4 hours I took 1200mg of ibuprofen and 1000mg of paracetamol.
On top of that the weather report for the day after tomorrow showed 80kmh winds and a full day of rain for a 25km and 1300 vertical meters and sleeping in a tent. So the only sensible decision is to abandon the trek. The other guys that started with us also went back due to the weather.

In the morning we were woken up with a beautiful sunset at 5am. We head back to the phone booth surrounded by swarms of midgets. We take a bus to the next ferry to the isle of lewis. I slept trough the whole ferry.
On lewis we take a bus to a cafe and museum and the way and then later continue our way to Stornoway.
The airbnb luckily has a sauna. And I took a large siesta.Read more
