Highlands Glens and Sealochs 1300km Brevet Populaire audax

As a summer holiday I decided to ride a 1300km permanent audax. Island hoping up the West coast of Scotland, following part of the North coast 500 route before heading south via glencoe, Inverary and back to Ardrossan. Paul immediately declined the invitation to accompany me. Quite apart from the cycling distances involved he refuses to go near the west coast of Scotland in summer because of the midges. I'd be cycling alone through some of the most remote areas of the UK. This trip requires a sub blog of it's own, yet to be published.
