Sunday 9 July 2000
Alas, the good weather from last night did not last, so it’s on with all
the rain-gear this morning before starting. The rain lasts all day, growing
worse as the afternoon progresses. We take the smaller road along the west
coast of Benbecula, where we can keep the sea in our sights, with one small
halt for a painting, when the rain lets up a bit. After crossing the causeway
from Benbecula to North Uist, we come to Carinish Inn at around one o’clock
and are very thankful to get in out of the rain for lunch. Here we meet
up again with another bicycling couple, which we have seen on and off since
meeting them on the small ferry from Barra to South Uist, and have a long
talk. They are from Fife in Scotland and own a small cottage in Leverburgh
on Harris where they are heading.
