Edinburgh to Kinross
13 lipca 2022, Szkocja ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Post Covid recovery and I’m unsure how my strength and stamina are holding up. Only one way to find out, by setting off on the planned schedule.

By train to Edinburgh arriving before 1pm which gave me a fighting chance of completing 35 or so miles in the afternoon.

A little hillier than I would have liked so I took it slow, arriving at Gallowhill campsite just after 4pm. It’s just outside Kinross which is a smart, tidy large village. £10 a night plus £1 a shower. All looks clean and quiet as not too busy.

Tea at the busy Muir Inn - tomato soup and macaroni cheese which filled me up. Early to bed! Czytaj więcej

9am start. Weather varied from hot to cool but usually I had a tail wind.

Missed a turning outside Newburgh and did a longer inland route by mistake.

Lunch in Newport on Tay. Lovely campsite tonight £10 all in with good facilities. Czytaj więcej

Carnoustie to Stonehaven
15 lipca 2022, Szkocja ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Some challenges today. Rain overnight, letting up about 8am. Showers during the day. Headwind.

Got lost on way to Arbroath Andes up trying to cycle through a strawberry farm - much to the puzzlement of the Romanian workforce.

Lunch in Melrose - hot and sunny until it rained. Took shelter at the tennis club along with players who also took refuge.

Had to use the A92 for some stretches - busy and hilly!

Stonehaven campsite had space for me, just.. there are only three tent pitches and 100 for motorhomes and caravans.

Stonehaven to Turriff
16 lipca 2022, Szkocja ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
A fine dry start and the heat built up during the day. Combined with a hilly route inland I found the 55 miles tough going.

A postman directed me to this excellent cafe in Bieldside. Before this a lovely level ride along a disused railway line beside the Dee.

Chatted up by a young couple with baby in Inverurie and a young girl (10 I think) at Turriff campsite.

Rain forecast overnight. Czytaj więcej

A wet start. Delayed setting off, talking to the warden in Turriff who made me a filter coffee.

Extended chat with Mo and Wendy at my coffee stop.

A fair amount of rough riding on unpaved tracks, but also some good riding on well surfaced former railway lines.

Very warm in the afternoon. Got a puncture from a thorn in the last mile. No campsite here so in a comfy bed (no breakfast). Pizza for tea. Czytaj więcej

Dear followers
Unable to stay two days in Forres, I hoped for a slightly easier day and overall it wasn’t bad - 50 miles and only a headwind for the last part. Dry with intense sunshine.

Lunch from a mobile sandwich van on a commercial estate. Painful navigation round Inverness and a detour as one side of the cycle path was closed.

Target campsite “full” although the warden found a space for my little tent which saved the hassle of moving on and other sites being booked up.

Was tipped to watch out for dolphins in the Moray Firth and saw three in the distance.

Tea in the golf club. Possibly the warmest day I’ve ever spent in Scotland.

Oppressively warm day with occasional heavy, but warm, showers.

Thanks to the campsite for keeping me on the same pitch for a second night despite it being booked by someone else.

Thanks to the leisure centre who have booked me into a yoga session tonight.

Thanks to the library for free Wi-Fi, phone charging and refreshments.

Thanks to the golf club for free Wi-Fi, a pot of tea and no hassle.

Thanks to Tweedie Pie for lunch and possibly tea. Czytaj więcej

20 lipca 2022, Szkocja ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Over the hill from Fortrose to Cromarty ready for the tiny (two vehicle max) ferry to Nigg. Just time to have a coffee break at The Slaughterhouse before boarding.

After that flattish with mostly helpful winds. Garden with 150 empty gin bottles - the owner had drunk “the majority, over several years”. Lunch in Tain - considerably busier than on previous visits.

Small but friendly campsite just north of Brora. Czytaj więcej

Brora to Wick

All day on the A9 and A99 which is both mentally and physically testing.

Speed has been either 5mph or 25mph depending on the slope. Most passing traffic considerate but lots of concentration is required by the cyclist.

After delightful coffee and toast in Helmsdale, refreshment stops were rare. I ended up talking to roadside animals and playing mental games with vehicle number plates (only one with a 61 plate).

Weather overcast and cool - like a vampire I cast no shadow all day.

Huge cemetery on the entrance to Wick including a big collection of war graves. All from either the Navy or the Air Force. Many from commonwealth countries. Clearly WWII affected this area.

Spacious campsite in Wick. Czytaj więcej

Wick to Orkney / Evie
22 lipca 2022, Szkocja ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
A little time to spend on Wick before the 1:30pm ferry from
Gills Bay. Chanced upon the nuclear and Caithness archives by Wick airport - a beautiful modern building with helpful staff. Found out some of the background to the war graves in Wick cemetery.

Coffee, toast and marmalade at The Rumblin Tum. 17 miles on single track roads to the ferry.

Ferry bounces across the Pentland Firth to the tune of car alarms not liking the movement.

Time trialling from St Margaret’s Hope to Kirkwall in an hour. Finally arrived at Evie and the apartment which is in a converted church. No more cycling for a while. Czytaj więcej
