Hamnavoe
14. juli 2023, Skotland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
A lovely ride from Scotscalder and a wee potter around Thurso, including the walk to Holborn Head, before the ferry, the Hamnavoe (Norse nane for Stromness), takes us to Orkney. Still a wee bit of riding to do before a beer.Læs mere

Kirkwall
15. juli 2023, Skotland ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Arrived at Kirkwall's comfy youth hostel in fine style, in time for a beer in town. This morning's parkrun was in biblical rain, but done with a few other hardy souls. Pleasant stroll around town, and Earl's Palace, before the tour of the gin distillery.Læs mere

Westray
16. juli 2023, Skotland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Glorious ferry up the centre of the Orcadian archipelago, something to see off every side. Missed the bus (kind of deliberately) and walked the length of the island to Pierowall and b&b with Jerry, an artist, fireman and hotelier, as you do.Læs mere

Kirkwall again.
18. juli 2023, Skotland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
After lovely flight back, recovered the steed and rode out to Harray into the wind to tackle the glorious north end. Marwick head, Brough of Birsay and the burial cairn at Cuween.

Brae
19. juli 2023, Skotland ⋅ 🌬 12 °C
Overnight boat to Lerwick and the cycle to Brae, via Twatt and through "the Alps".

Showers washing over me became a wall of wind and water by time I reached Voe and last 5 were a battle. Terrific AirBnB at the end, though.Læs mere

Rejsende Hmmm...scarecrow?

Rejsende Or even an orange scarecrow. Was quite creepy. Wee fairy houses guarded by an orange scarecrow on a secret loch.

Eshaness
20. juli 2023, Skotland ⋅ 🌬 11 °C
Persuaded not to slog through Yell and preferred to head west via Mavis Grind (where you can throw a stone from North Sea to Atlantic) and on to Eshaness.
Unexpected glory of seeing Dad's signature in the visitors book at St. Magnus Bay in Hillswick. 1965, not a smudge on it.Læs mere

Lerwick
21. juli 2023, Skotland ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Cycling on Shetland is challenging, but today made up for it. Fabulous run through the Nesting and through the Tingwall valley to Scalloway, with still more evidence of Black Patie's unpleasantness. Then on to Trondra and West Burra and the truly glorious Meal beach, before getting back into Lerwick for beer.Læs mere
