Nice climb in the Hebridean Way. Bit tougher than pictured here, though. The climb continues and end is piece of 9％.

Landscape is wonderful

Mooie klim in the Hebridean Way. Wel stukje zwaarder dan hier afgebeeld. De klim loopt verder door en eind is stuk van 9％.
Maar met wind in de rug is het zelfs met lichte bepakking prima te doen.
Landschap is wonderschoon
