Scotland Fix of the Day: Travelers to Scotland who come to me for advice have learned that I may well send them farther afield. One of my favorite suggestions? Take a fling and head for the Outer Hebrides, to Lewis and Harris. These islands rate pretty high on the off-the-beaten-track scale because travel there involves a couple of ferry connections, a sure way to cut the number of fellow travelers you’ll encounter. My favorite route departs from Ullapool and takes you out to bustling Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. From there it’s an hour drive out to the rugged west coast to places like Uig Bay and Mangersta Beach. You can include the Butt of Lewis, too, where you’ll find on of those iconic Stevenson lighthouses. Central to any Lewis journey will be the Callanish Stones — second only to Stonehenge amongst Neolithic monuments (and much more accessible.) Then drive down to the Isle of Harris. (You’ll notice that Lewis and Harris are not actually separate islands, but they are distinct territories in the minds of of the islanders and I wouldn’t argue about it with a local in the pub.) Harris is more mountainous than Lewis and has some of the world’s greatest beaches, like Luskentyre Strand. The road there from Tarbert meanders through the hills before descending to a glorious road that hugs the west coast. You’ll loop on down to Leverburgh, continue east to Rodel (where you can see the old church with islands strewn beyond to the south.) Then swing north through a moonscape where the road twists and turns to snake through boulders and down into fishing villages with names like Scadabay and Plocropol. Continue on and you are back in Tarbert where you can catch the other island ferry that goes back to the Isle of Skye. Taken all together this is a stunning journey; everyone comes back raving. #scotland #outerhebrides #islandjourney #bestofscotland #hiddenscotland #scotland_highlights #ig_scotland #visitscotland #scotlandgreatshots #scotland_greatshots #igersscotland #unlimitedscotland #scotlandtravel #thescottishcollective #simplyscotland #moodyscotland #scotlanddreams #offthebeatentrack #travelphotography #unesco #worldheritage #remoteislands #historicscotland — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/8sWUL3l

Loch Tarbert to Loch Spelve via Colonsay

Thursday 25th April 2024

Another beautiful sunny day, even though it is freezing cold! We decided to head to Colonsay as the winds are light so went back through the narrows in Loch Tarbert pausing at anchor for lunch before crossing over to Colonsay. They have new visitor moorings at Queen's Bay so we picked one up - on the third attempt which, in hindsight, was a giveaway on the state of the water... Having then checked weather forecasts, it turned out that the 0.4m swell was going to increase to 1.2m overnight. Thus armed with the knowledge that going ashore by tender might be a tad tricky, we opted for comfort and set off north east heading along the east coast of Mull to Loch Spelve arriving in time for a tot of whisky and supper. Another beautiful loch and a peaceful night.

6 September 2022: The Princess Royal Visits Tarbert Harbour THA would like to thank HRH The Princess Royal for visiting Tarbert on September 6th for the afternoon. It was an honour to have The Princess open Phase One of the new harbourside facilities. Duncan Cunningham (Chairman of THA) and Kenneth MacNab (Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Argyll and Bute) gave Princess Anne a tour around the new developments and presented various stakeholders involved in recent projects. HRH also learned about the numerous regeneration plans in place to provide additional services and facilities. Tarbert Yacht Club also organised a demonstration for HRH, where young pupils from Tarbert Academy sailed over to the pontoons on toppers to greet The Princess. To end the royal visit, HRH unveiled a plaque recording her visit and was later presented with a bouquet of flowers from Tarbert’s Seafood Queen and her Princesses. This was a memorable day for THA and marked the completion of a decade of successful developments for the harbour.

Day Fifty-five

Another day at it!

Departing from just iff the Kintyre Trail at Grianain Forest, it's back once more to the climbs heading up the east coast of the Kintyre Peninsula.

Yesterday was finished fairly high up so starting out is a nice descent through the wooded hills past a nice little bay at Grogaport (what a name) before it's straight back up again.

Arran is still showing beautifully over the water, though the sight of it lessens as the trees start to close in around the road, which continues to throw climb after climb and includes some ferocious hairpin twists as it snakes back down to sea level at times.

Past Claonaig the route heads inland once more with some more long climbs up and over the hills, before a steep descent down brings the road back to the A83 and the waterside, which allows some smoother riding up to Tarbert.

After that tough work I take a nice lunch break by the harbour here, before a shirt ride further along brings us to the ferry port over to Portavadie.

It's not a long stretch across the lands pointing down to border the Isle of Bute, but there are a series of hefty climbs to push over.

First up out from Kames is a big climb up overlooking Bute and the gorgeous Loch Ruel. The gradient isn't horrific but it goes on and on and whilst providing some beautiful sights, it's a tough slog.

Down the other side, the road surface is juddering enough to cause my panniers to nearly dislodge and uncouple from the bike, which I only discover at the bottom. Quite a bumpy ride!

The eoad ascends again into the surrounding hills filled with forestry work, with more hard effort required before a rollercoaster of a downhill with multiple 20% descents.

Rounding Loch Striven, it's a last uphill effort taking us past Loch Tarsan and its dams, before finally gliding down the wetlands towards the east coast.

The brutal climbs have taken up a lot of the day now, so I spy a patch of empty land behind some trees to aerup for the night, and the sound of a river below offers a perfect opportunity to top up the water carriers.

I know I'm tired out as I make a series of mistakes at this point.

First, whilst heading down to the river, I misjudge the landscape and sink ankle-deep into some swampy ground.

Next, when rushing to extricate myself, I snag some nice thorny vines and come away covered in thorns.

Finally, vexed at myself, I slip and fall flat on my backside.

Have to laugh! Thankfully no real damage done, the river offered ample opportunity to wash the mud off, and I have spare socks!

With the water purifier setup, the weather finally changes and the rains set it with perfect timing for me to be ready to dive into my tent for the evening.

TTFN!

Drinishader.

Harris is place of contrasts, the east coast has a rugged landscape, the grass I walked on, even climbing a hill was mostly boggy, and rich in peat.

The west coast, as you will have seen with myphone pics last week, is blessed with beautiful beaches,, the grassy areas were sand based and more solid to walk on. These pics are from around Drinishader a small settlement on the southwest shore of East Loch Tarbert

The crypto industry’s frustration with SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s regulatory agenda has turned political, with crypto investors suggesting new nominees for SEC commissioner if Trump wins a second term. Dan Gallagher, Robinhood’s CLO, is a potential replacement for Gensler. Gallagher, a former SEC commissioner during Obama's presidency, emphasizes fostering market access and keeping the U.S. at the forefront of financial innovation.

Crypto investors are increasing their political influence. Ripple's Stuart Alderoty and Coinbase's Paul Grewal attended a Republican fundraiser, reflecting ongoing legal battles with the SEC. Trump, now branding himself a cryptocurrency supporter, promises regulatory ease if elected.

Other potential SEC candidates include J. Christopher Giancarlo, Heath Tarbert, and former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins. If Trump wins, SEC and crypto policy could be influenced by over 16 former Trump officials now lobbying for the crypto industry.

Friday 21 June Crinan to Craobh

A sail in a brisk F4 SE wind up the coast and through some bouncy seas raised the tension a tad in the skipper. Full sail (whoops) meant we peaked over 7 knots.

Comfortable and sheltered marina - but not as friendly as others we have visited, perhaps I should have bought that St. Andrews courtesy flag after all

I heard someone disparagingly refer to our boat as swallows and amazons!

Can’t find any photos right now so a few more from Crinan and the Tarbert scallops
