The morning was spent in Rosemarkie and Fortose, just having a potter about. I’m loving the lighthouses in Scotland. Route 1 takes you up a very large hill but it is so beautiful… there was literally nobody around for hours. It reminded me of Scandinavia – the pines and hills etc’ following the uphill was … Continue reading
Was pushing it the whole morning to get around and past Inverness to escape the wind. The weather had picked up somewhat since yesterday. Seemed to be a bit more sunny and less rain and sort of less wind. Leaving on a full English breakfast – I could barely move. Following Route 1 this took … Continue reading
The morning from Burghead was so pretty – I’m sure this was a Sunday and there was a fresh spring feeling. The route took you on an old railway track along the coast line – the coast line reminded me of Wales. Then the wind kicked in – it’s literally like someone pushes the ‘wind … Continue reading
Windy windy day – escaped the wind for a bit into Spey Bay. Route 1 was well signposted – a large section is mostly the old railway track, and you head up and around the cliff tops and there were some lovely little fishing villages. Headed into Elgin to have the stand on my bike … Continue reading
This has to be one of the nicest places I have stayed in on the bike tour so far. Both the design and location of Cullen Harbor Hostel make it an absolute pleasure and delight to spend time there. Whilst in Cullen Harbor I spent hours of the day ‘thinking’ over the tour. Whether or not to take … Continue reading
I arrived the Cullen Harbor Hostel in Cullen Bay today and well what a delight. This has to be one of the nicest and well designed hostels I have been in so far. Not to mention the very charming characters of the hostel owners, Ruth and Howard. I left Gardenstown and Crovie (Crivie) very overcast … Continue reading
Finally, I was just waiting for a good day to rest and feel at peace with the location I was staying at. Rattray Bay was everything that I needed. The hostel was nothing switz swoo – but it was just basic and rugged and everything that I wanted. I had one of the best sleeps for a … Continue reading
Woke up this morning to rain and gale force winds. Seems to be a weather front coming over that is getting weather warnings on the news. This was first morning to put the tent away in such weather. Once kitted up there was no problem at all. Splayed like a jellyfish on top of the … Continue reading
Had thought about staying another night in Aberdeen but just didn’t feel right. So cooked up some food for the day and left to ride up to Collieston or Cruden Bay. Took a whole lot of long time to get out of Aberdeen – but not as long as it did Edinburgh. Took the time … Continue reading
Was a lovely day riding to Aberdeen finished with the best downhill decent into Aberdeen – couldn’t have been any better. Left St Cryus and headed up to Stonehaven. Have to say, these sort of small but large towns are not really my thing. I love cycling through the small villages made up of 5-8 … Continue reading
