Bike Ride Scotland

---

A day that ended quite surprisingly.
In order to make some distance we agreed to have an early start, so 7.00 AM breakfast and out on the road at 7.30 AM it was. Outside temperature 3 C (33F), sunny but, again strong winds. Seems to be the norm here. How much it affects you is the difference between for or against. Today it was 90% against again.
The surroundings are really stunning here; very difficult making photos give the right impression on how beautiful. After a 96 km tough bike ride we ended up in Torridon, a small village where we could not find an hotel or B &B. By shear coincidence we were able to secure a place of a youth hotel. Mind you our ages 77, 70, 63 and 57 (all exactly 7 years apart); not very “youth”. 10 beds in a room, i.e.5 bunk beds. In our room there are only 5 sleepers. Communal bath rooms and showers, something I have not experienced in a long time. Cheap and clean nevertheless.
So much for my report for today.
