I've alluded in other threads to my latest trip ....a weeks fishing(?) in the west coast of Lewis. Such a spectacular spot that it's probably worth a thread of its own with some pix.
Over the years at Persie we have become firm friends with the family of the lad that first came there 22 years ago to cook for the bosses family week.
We are fortunate enough to be invited on some of their fishing trips...I was up with them a couple of weeks ago on the River Polla , off Loch Eriboll on thefar north coast. I have often joined them for a few days on my bike...this May on South Uist for example.
But this trip includes wifey and 2 spaniels.
So Volvo was loaded up and left home at 5am, up the A9 to Ullapool.
We stopped for a refreshment at Harry Gows bakery in the car park just north of the Kessock Bridge....highly recommended by the way...
On to the delayed....fog...ferrry over to Stornoway.
Quick dash through Stornoway.....not the prettiest town in Scotland....and over to our home for the next week....the lodge at Hamanavay.
This lies at the far end of an 8 mile unmade private track....no problem for the V90 Crosscountry
