Re:
Christened the new ride today with a drive out to Sron Uladail in Harris. :xmas-big-grin:
from Walk Highlands:
"Sron Uladal (or Strone Ulladale, as it is known to many) is a magnificent overhanging cliff hidden in a very remote location in the Harris hills. The cliff has been claimed as the finest inland precipice in the UK and was made famous by the Great Climb live broadcast on BBC Scotland. This wild location is reached by a good stalkers' path."
Videos of the ride out and back are available on Youtube (not by me I hasten to add!)
Was a great ride, although much windier than it was at home in Stornoway when I left!
The photos don't really do the cliff justice, it's fecking enormous, other braver humans base-jump from the summit! :facepalm:
From doing basically zero cycling it was definitely too much for a first ride... the climb (walk) back up what had been the fast and steep descent was really hard going.
I loved it though, the scenery was epic and the bike performed faultlessly.
Here are a few pics of the day. :xmas-cool:
