I did a similar cycle a few weeks ago, but I was luckier with the weather. Tore to Ullapool on one of the warmest calmest sunniest days of the year, though I did not like the busy A835. I stopped at Tarvies too. Then over to Harris and a rented cottage for a week with friends (and more cycling). Returning to Ullapool I cycled to Durness in one go, with a massive tailwind. Around Kylesku the gusts were scary and from random directions and I pushed some places, but overall a big help. Unfortunately for my friends who stayed a day later than me, their ferry was cancelled and they got stuck on Harris.

Glad you had a good cycle! The A385 is not the highlight of the route but the highlands more than make up for it… even when it might feel at times it’s trying to kill you 😜. Hope your friends managed to enjoyed their forced extended stay without too much onward planning disruption.

I'm fairly certain I recognised you both from your short stay at the ullapool campsite, it was unfortunate it was about the worst summer weather I have experienced in the many years we have holidayed at Ullapool. Take care and best wishes on your future travels.

Thank you. If we looked windswept and tired then yes that would be us 😂. Now that we are safe, warm and dry (with a story to tell 😊), we look back in awe at the Highlands flexing its muscles… and with fondness at people we met along the way. Hope you had a more sheltered stay in Ullapool. Come say hi next time.

Just watched your KZbin. A much better video. Right choice of music. Vary a little bit though. Ambient sound recording could be done when recording the water flows. Probably not the winds 😌. Your bicycle looks cool. Aerial recording is indeed professional 👌 👏. Views are stunning as are the scallops!! 254 km in 2 days 🤠. Lloyd is untalkingly the great architect behind the video. Congratulations 🎊 👏

Haha. Apparently we missed some splendid weather by a week! Hope you had a wonderful cycle.
