Week Five: Day One


Bleak(in a word). I was drenched and freezing even before I boarded the ferry to Tarbert (at 5am!) - rain and mist accompanied me all 40 miles to Stornaway so I'd only glimpses of Lewis. A mix up in communication meant that I didn't even meet any Sams when I got there - it seemed a long way to go as a result. What with not wanting to stop en route and having no-one to meet at Stornoway, I had a three hours to kill before my ferry to Ullapool. So I decided to visit the local museum where I found my photo of the day. That summed the day up well really. Oh yes - I also have my first broken spoke. In a word - bleak!

Pre-tour estimated miles: 37
Actual miles: 41
