It does seem all lovely and beautiful and traditional and cosy when you see it in a book like that, doesn't it?

How does that work then Ian?

Are they towing a boat behind their bikes?
One cycling one sailing?

Taking it in turns?

It's a crinkly enough coastline to be doing that here .

Gotcha.
I was struggling to see how it would work elsewise .

Got a great lift to Uig with a film producer on her day off .
Then three rough days over the tops and pathless ground to Hushinuish in Harris in mostly good weather.

Where unbelievably , after my Pina colada 'funny' to @newfhouse a Dutch woman turned up out of nowhere with a bottle of Harris Gin, and some tonic

She insisted we help her with it as the sun went down .

Sometimes life just works out eh??

The Metropolitan Police has lost a bid to appeal against its High Court defeat over the handling of the vigil for murdered Sarah Everard.
High Court judges concluded in March that the Met had breached the rights of organisers from Reclaim These Streets (RTS) when it stood in the way of a protest gathering in March 2021.
