An account of preparation for and undertaking of a cycle tour of Britain Feb.-June 2013. The 'Just Giving' page has now closed, very many thanks to those who donated I think about £400 was given. It had not been my prime motive but both the Hospice and I are very grateful for the money raised. Please keep reading the blog and commenting, I may try to turn it into a book if anyone might be interested.

Day 84 part 2.
Plockton.
Got a bit carried away today, not content with a fruitless 3 hour trek up a mountain (part of the Beinn Eighe massif) I set off pedalling and have ended up 50 miles further on in Plockton, said to be one of the prettiest seaside villages in Scotland. I haven't actually seen much of the village, just the bunkhouse at the station and the hotel where I have had a lovely meal.
I met up with the cyclist I met yesterday and he had cycled round to Applecross and then over the pass of the cattle which reaches 2000 feet! I decided to take the easier more direct route from Sheildaig to Lochcarron.
Tomorrow I head for Mallaig via Skye.
Regret am still having trouble with pics. Sorry.
Good night.
