Story

On 28th August 2010 Fiona Rintoul and support team (aka boyfriend Peter) set out to cycle the 150-mile length of the Outer Hebrides from Castlebay on Barra to the Butt of Lewis. The ride was completed in three and a half days (despite Peter having to go back to Barra to retrieve a left-behind rucksack), and the weather was exceptionally kind. Which was just as well, as having got to the Butt, the weary cyclists realised there was another 50-odd miles to complete to get to Stornoway and the ferry home... If you would like to see photographic evidence or are interested in the route, Peter has written the trip up at www.writesofway.com. Thank you very much to everyone for your generous sponsorship in memory of Maureen. And if you haven't yet donated, it's not too late!
