I Left My Heart in Altnaharra

 And TuesdayTwirl

Dear friends. Altnaharra, in the northern corner of Scotland, is a tiny hamlet we passed through on our 3 week cycling adventure from Land's End in Cornwall to John O'Groats. The region is simply breath-taking and I definitely plan to go back!

This is part 2 of my journal on our trip. Read the first part. 

I'm picking up the story deep in the north of England. For me, the last few days in England and the week in Scotland were the most spectacular cycling in the holiday. The highly populated cities and towns give way to hundreds of miles of unspoilt countryside. 

Cycling Adventures in Scotland

 

Dear friends. We're back from an amazing fortnight in Scotland.  We completed 2 cycling routes, the Hebridean Way and the Caledonian Way. Total mileage was around 450 miles (724 km). The weather was extremely kind to us, and there were no midges. 

As with our epic journey last year from Land's End to John O'Groats,  we went with specialists Saddle Skedaddle. The two tours were fully guided and our bags transferred to the accommodation each day. Below: the trailer of bikes on its way to the first ferry.
