End of the road :(

June 8, 2014 by LucyRose, posted in Scotland

We arrived at Jaz's pretty late in the evening and were greeted by our wonderful friend and 3 cold beers. It was so nice to end the trip this way, chilling in Jaz's absolutely crazy shed/bedroom/pad with trippy fairy lights, beer and wine.I dont think there's much more to say than we had a lovely … Continue reading End of the road ðŸ˜¦

Harris to Skye to Perth!

June 7, 2014 by LucyRose, posted in Scotland

The night was pretty long as I kept waking up to the midges and random sounds that in my groggy state sounded exactly like someone stealing my bike! (I think it was the wind?)Gregor then managed to elbow me in the nose and so I gave up on sleep to do some damage control on … Continue reading Harris to Skye to Perth!

June 4, 2014 by LucyRose, posted in Scotland

So it turns out I was right to be nervous about my knee!It's been an interesting day on the joints front. The knee pain setting off this morning was pretty bad, it was enough to keep my quiet for the first leg as I got used to it! Maybe no more hills for a while … Continue reading West coast of Uist – silly knees, a few goodbyes, sun and sunsets!
