Having cycled the first 60 miles of the tour, from South Uist, across Benbecula and North Uist to Berneray, the southern cluster of the Outer Hebrides, we are relieved to discover unoccupied beds at Berneray. Our satisfied expressions may have something to do with having just emptied Liam's hip flask. These will shortly be replaced by dissatisfied expressions when we examine the accommodation. We are still in the happy position of wearing reasonably clean kit - this state of affirs will not last for very long. The bikes have held up to the day's rigours very well, with just one puncture between us, and the road surface has been reasonable, not to mention flat, which is the way I like it. Not looking forward to tomorrow's daunting climb on Harris, which must be done in reverse on Monday.
About Me
- Simon Kirwan
- Welcome to my personal weblog. I am a photographer based in Merseyside in north west England. I produce architectural, aerial, lifestyle, and event photography for advertising agencies, picture libraries, corporate clients and publishers. In 2000, I was named The Observer Outdoor Photographer of the Year, and have published a series of regional landscape, panoramic, and aerial books on England and Wales. I'm currently working on Wales From the Air, and North West England Landscapes. I try to spend part of each year travelling, visiting new destinations, and generating images for my travel picture library.
