South Harris
We took the road round the west coast from Leverburgh. Superb sandy beaches and one long climb as we crossed over to the East coast and our accommodation in Drinashader. Certainly rougher and harder cycling
country and a bit of a contrast to South Uist and Benbecula. Total miles cycled today - 92 miles. Tomorrow starts with the toughest climb of the trip - over Clisham and then continues up the West coast of Lewis to the Butt of Lewis.
Berneray to Harris ferry
Eriskay, South Uist, Benbecula, North Uist and Berneray all done and over 60 miles under our belt. Whilst waiting for the ferry over to Leverburgh in Harris we managed to fit in another swim. On the ferry now with 20 miles round the West coast of South Harris before getting to our digs in Drinashader. We are all a bit sunburnt and weather beaten but having a grand time.
