Yesterday cycled 30 miles, most of it from Lerwick down to Sumburgh Airport.,. No problems with the wind, so I was very early and the bike got whisked away without a wait. All I had to do was take the pedals off turn, in the handlebars and let the air out of the tyres. If only all flights could be as easy as Loganair and its 35 seater plane.
Spent the night with another amazing warmshowers host- chicken and couscous waiting for me. Thank you.
Today 58 miles out of Bergen, route well signed, but a lot of roundabouts and just when you need it most the brown signs evade me. I used my Mio cycle navigation system which worked well except at roundabouts. Like Sustrans cycle routes, the Route1 North meanders about, so after 25 miles I stayed on the direct road which was not busy. However, Mio did not like this it- bleebs and tells me to turn round. It got switched off.
Camping on an inlet with 4 other cyclists, all French. 1 ferry today. As it was about to dock, an otter swum by, but was gone before the camera was out.
