Back to reality after the tour of Scotland. It really was excellent and we covered about 400 miles in 7 days of biking. There (as ever) was a tour diary kept by the pair of us, and it's being typed up as we speak so I'll likely publish it in installments on here.
Suffice to say that North West Scotland is stunningly beautiful and markedly hilly! The weather in the main was remarkably good - even better when we were getting reports of it being wet and miserable in Yorkshire :-)
Our only real conditions problem was on the Outer Hebrides with two days of biking down to Harris from Stornoway, through vicious cross winds and freezing rain. Needless to say we bailed off onto lovely Skye, and all was well once again.
We stopped in a string of Scottish Youth Hostels are these are highly recommended.
... and so onto the next tour starting very soon :-)
