48 hours and a couple of rides in Scotland last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing I was doing a long Torridon loop the next day I took myself off for a smooshy ride across Skye, done this ride twice before, both times in horrendous conditions, this time tho, the sun shone a glorious day across the Island. Starting at Sligachan and the Collie and MacKenzie statue, alongside the Allt Daraich and the River Sligachan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
