Oban to Aberdeen via the Outer Hebrides and Orkney
Tour outline
Thursday: Train from Tring to Glasgow via Euston, one night in Glasgow, then a train to Oban in time for the afternoon ferry to Castlebay, Barra. Then the tour proper begins on Saturday morning, cycling from Barra up through the Outer Hebridian Islands with time to meander and explore. By Wednesday we should reach Stornoway for the ferry to Ullapool on mainland Scotland, then up further North and around the top to Orkney by the second Monday. There we have four days to explore before catching the overnight ferry to Aberdeen, followed by First Class train travel home. Two and a half weeks, done!

What a great bike!
How many men to free a stranded coach?

Aaah lovely pics! Hope it's not wet today! Very humid here, but not raining.
ReplyDeleteNot too wet, but quite cold and windy with lots of hills today! Humid sounds very pleasant!
