点评:Highlights, curry in cafe Kusimul in Castlebay, after getting off the ferry, the coffee and cakes at the Ardmhor to eriskay ferry, world class! Good food at Am Politician. Good Barra campsite at Wavecrest, Kilbride on South Uist fine too. Cycling just grim, single
Track roads with passing spaces, route overrun with camper vans, cars these days, presume a causeway effect? Just awful. I have no idea why I drive around at 20 in almost every city and village in the UK now and these roads are at the national speed limit!! Several near misses and close passes, worst I’ve experienced in 30 years with daily commuting in Glasgow! Constant stop start cycling as you have to let cars past, or wait in passing spaces, absolutely hated it. Weather grim, wind constantly, pouring rain, sullen locals, with a leave your money and leave the island vibe, best thing was the ferry home. Cal
Mac great, love the Glen Sannox, almost worth the criminal misuse of public funds and corruption from Scottish government and Ferguson’s.
In summary, a barren windswept bleak experience with good food and near death cycling experiences. Don’t do it, get a campervan and join the rest, if you must visit. I’d just head to the New Forest or go full off road instead, save your sanity.
翻译:亮点:下渡轮后在卡斯尔贝的库西穆尔咖啡馆 (Cafe Kusimul) 吃了咖喱;从阿德莫尔 (Ardmhor) 到埃里斯凯岛 (Eriskay) 的渡轮上的咖啡和蛋糕,世界一流!Am Politician 餐厅的食物也很棒。韦夫克雷斯特 (Wavecrest) 的巴拉岛 (Barra) 露营地很不错,南尤伊斯特岛 (South Uist) 的基尔布赖德 (Kilbride) 也很好。骑行体验糟透了,单行道,只有错车道,路上挤满了露营车和汽车,估计是堤道效应造成的吧?简直糟糕透了。我不知道为什么我现在在英国几乎每个城镇乡村开车都只能开到 20 英里/小时,而这些路段却是国家限速!好几次差点撞到车,险些发生碰撞,这是我在格拉斯哥每天通勤 30 年来遇到的最糟糕的情况!骑车时不得不不停地走走停停,要么让汽车先行,要么在错车道上等待,真是太讨厌了。天气也很糟糕,狂风呼啸,暴雨倾盆,当地人闷闷不乐,一副“把钱留下就走”的架势,最好的就是坐渡轮回家了。卡尔
麦克很棒,我喜欢格伦桑诺克斯,几乎可以弥补苏格兰政府和弗格森家族滥用公共资金和腐败的罪行。
总而言之,这是一次荒凉、风大、阴郁的体验,食物不错,但骑行体验却差点丧命。别去,如果你非要去,不如租辆露营车,加入其他人的行列。我建议你直接去新森林,或者干脆走越野路线,这样才不会让自己崩溃。
