Fundraising update

I am happy to tell that Dora has raised £100 so far. Eleven donations have been made at the moment, a big thank you for everyone!

You can check the the progress on the fundraising page.

Pannier bags

Previously we did not have any pannier bags for our bikes. If we did shopping or similar we simply carried everything in our back packs. That is fine for short trips but biking several days with heavy trekking rucksacks would ruin our backs in no time.

Preparing bikes

Our bikes are pretty normal mountain bikes and we have used them for shopping trips and reasonably short trips, around 10 miles. But doing biking for several days with all the camping gear requires some preparations for the bikes.

Welcome

This is a blog about a bicycle trip across the Outer Hebrides. It will have updates about our planning, route, gear and other information as the trip becomes more concrete.
