That was the last couple of days.

Still showery overnight and although still wet decided to leave the gear behind and have a ride round the peninsula in the opposite direction to yesterday's ride. 

 

Bad effort at a panorama. Looking over towards Skye.

On the way up the Bealach na Ba

Then it was a siesta before heading down to the pub. This was on the way by the campsite entrance.P9120174.thumb.jpeg.d1e08e4d3e22e30be4e5f096c559e395.jpeg

Left Applecross on another showery day, windy on the open unsheltered stretches of road. Fortunately only a few hours ride.

Arrived at the rally site on Skye, more or less under the bridge. Early there, so got a couple of sheltered pitches before the forecast storm.

Not to far to the bar, just around the corner.

Found this weird fly on my tent but couldn't get a clear photo because he was on speed or something.

Started as soon as the bar opened.

Met some friends from Eye of Ra MCC who'd ridden up from Newport way.

Somebody got tired.

Then burst back to life.

Was awarded a trophy for the furthest travelled. @Sir Fallsalot insisted that I should keep it as I'd been leading, fair play to him. Strangely enough I hardly used the Garmin.

Spent the morning reading after waking up to this, and a hangover. Managed to dash inside for breakfast and then a quick stroll down to the harbour for some lunch and a beer. Then it was back to the rally for more beer and rum..

I spent a year in college up in Glasgow. Loved it. I even found a pub that sold Brains beer.Only had lectures Tuesday to Thursday so spent the weekends bagging Munros. Happy days. And I can't remember it raining then either.

@Sir Fallsalot What didn't mine work? Typical. It's fine on here. On phone, laptop and desktop - but they are networked.

It let me upload the video like it does the photos.

Makes sense I suppose, cuts down on storage with a link
