That`s a wrap! Travelling over the Machucos mountain pass, followed by a section of the Picos de Europa, Lucy finished the tour in Santander with lots of wine, walking and tapas!
11 days of cycling, 4 days off the bike. 770km and over 6000m climbed.
Highlights;
Machucos pass
Picos - La Hermida and an unforgettable hostel in Bejes
River and sea dips on hot days
Meeting people hiking a Camino route- there were many!
Meeting via ferrata climbers and learning about their routes and challenges
Wandering the markets and bars in Santander

After the dramatic end to our last bike trip—and with our bikes now back in action—we`re excited to start planning a couple of short local bike & wild-camping trips this autumn. 🚴♂️🍂
In the meantime, I’ve been busy working on some finishing touches to a journey mapping tool called Pebbls. If you’re interested, check it out over at @pebblsadventures. 🗺️✨

We`ve found them! Thanks so so much to everyone who reposted and kept an eye out for our stolen bikes. We`re very happy to have found them and extremely grateful for the team effort that led to us getting them back - especially thanks to @giantpoole who spotted the bikes online, also to @stanforthbikes , @explorefromthedoor , @goguernsey and everyone who helped us out. 🚴♂️🚴

Completely gutted this morning. Our locks were cut and our beloved @stanforthbikes touring bikes stolen from bike hoops at @travelodgeuk in Poole (lifeboat quay) overnight. If anyone happens to come across anything that can help us be reunited we would be eternally grateful. These aren`t just our touring bikes that have taken us all around Europe, and Turkey, and Georgia they are our only day to day transport too.

After a ride across Skye we took the ferry from Armadale to Mallaig and then closed the loop back to Fort William. Those last few days, through rain, sunshine, and a thunderstorm took us through more stunning landscapes, past the famous Glenfinnan viaduct, and along the relatively busy road that followed the shore of Loch Eil.

It was a wet and windy final day of riding in the outer Hebrides before taking the ferry to Skye. From Uig we pedaled directly to Portree for a busy weekend of wildlife watching, a music festival, and a stunning night of aurora watching. Now we`re slowly inching our way back to the mainland and back to Fort William.

We`ve reached the northernmost point of our ride and have taken a couple of days off the bikes in Stornoway to rest and celebrate our birthdays. The weather has been a bit wetter and colder this week but the spectacular scenery more than made up for our soggy socks.
The gentle hills, low causeways, and sunshine of the first few days of our trip morphed into craggy mountains shrouded by low cloud and a chilly & damp headwind. The cycling was a bit tougher but we were rewarded with misty panoramic views from the top and glimpses of eagles, deer, lapwings, and curlews as we freewheeled back down. Tomorrow we head back to Tarbert to catch the ferry to Skye.

Our first days in the Western Isles have been gorgeous. As we took the ferry across the Minch, we were stunned by views of mountains, hills and castles rising from the water. We headed to Eriskay, where we spent the night on the beach, followed by a (brief!) morning swim.
Plenty of other cyclists and hikers follow the Hebridean way - we met storyteller, Tony (@kelpietrails) and his horse, Chief, walking the way and collecting Kelpie stories.

A few more hills today, and sunnier than we were prepared for!
We`re in the beautiful port town of Oban this evening, ready to catch the ferry out to Western Isles tomorrow morning.

Heading towards the Outer Hebrides... We`ve been spoilt today - amazing weather, stunning scenery, and lovely cycle tracks. Really glad we took the west shore along the first section of Loch Linnhe - the quiet roads and wildlife more than made up for the slightly longer route.

A very quick trip via the Isle of Wight this weekend. Lucy took a pottery course with @vinegarhillpottery8089 which included a raku firing!
We crammed in 6 ferry trips, a Christmas market, and returned tonight very soggy after an evening cycling in rain and wind.

From Tintagel to Bude, there were killer hills- 30% inclines down to beautiful bays and harbours, then the same again on the way up. When we got down to places like Boscastle and Millook and Bude, it was worth the hard work. Simon joined a session in Bude, and I enjoyed hearing some Cornish folk tunes.

After taking some time to enjoy the Eden project (where we escaped the rain and stayed in one of their land pods) we cycled (and ferried) through Cornwall to Penzance and then caught the boat to the Scilly Isles. The cycling became flatter and around us the steep cliffs were replaced with rolling hills as we approached Penzance.
