Once
over the top it was a gradual downhill run towards Lairg.
We stopped at the Crask Inn, - more like walking into someones house -
a rustic and remote pub, where I tried a bottle of Black Isle Ale - different!
Continuing through Lairg on the level, along the edge of Loch Shin we
used the footbridge to get across to the road to the Castle. The steel
bridge had a lot of steps, but cut of about 4 miles so was a worthwhile
effort.
We got the the hostel at 5pm. Quite a place, the entire building having
been "gifted" to SYHA.
The bike shed was in a huge cellar more like a dungeon accessed via huge
wooden doors.
The evening meal wasn't up to much although there were about three times
too many puddings made so we cleared a few of those.
We ate with a chap called Lol from Solihull who was doing End to End and
then continuing on the the Shetlands. |
