Particularly very long climb, from the not insignificant Stornoway, the largest town on the Outer Hebrides. From the town it starts to climb, at first still between some buildings, but slowly but surely you leave everything behind you and enter a barren and totally desolate landscape, dominated by marsh in which larger and smaller boulders are everywhere. I found it fascinating to see: so close to that biggest place such an emptiness.... read more

Particularly very long climb, from the not insignificant Stornoway, the largest town on the Outer Hebrides.

Vooral heel lange klim, vanuit het toch niet onaardige Stornoway, de grootste plaats op de Buiten Hebriden.
Vanuit de stad begint het te klimmen, eerst nog tussen wat bebouwing, maar langzaam maar zeker laat je alles achter je en kom je in een kaal en totaal verlaten landschap, gedomineerd door moeras waarin overal grotere en kleinere rotsblokken liggen. Ik vond het fascinerend om te zien: zo dichtbij die grootste plaats zo een leegte.
