The infamous Green Welly Stop at Tyndrum, gateway to Glencoe.

They don't put unnecessary info on their signs up 'ere ...

My other 'alf wants to live here - I told her it might be a bit drafty ...

The beginning of 32 miles of single-track awesomeness ...

Religion perhaps isn't quite so important these days ...

Beautiful and almost deserted beaches everywhere ...

This moorland took over an hour to cross - stunning place, but you REALLY wouldn't want to live there.

Well, it'd've been rude not go there, wouldn't it?

Thunderstorms may have knocked out the power, but sometime you really need a cup of tea!

Chain snapped - it's very old (was actually put on in about 2000), but I was hoping it'd finish the trip. Mike at Edinburgh Trike Services riveted it back together and it did the 600 miles or so home without a worry.

New set of C&S on order on Monday. :)
