Happy New Year to everyone! Hope everybody got what they wanted from good old Santa.

We are putting feelers out for the Easter break (Friday 10 April to Monday 13 April). Pam and I have been to Ullapool on numerous occasions in the past and we find this area of Scotland has excellent biking roads and is a very beautiful part of the world.

Ullapool as a base has everything you need. Pubs, B&B's, eateries and for the hardy of us an excellent campsite adjacent to the beach. When we have camped in the past the owner didn't mind us having bonfires on the beach

So, is anyone up for the Lochinver Pie Challenge? (Oh yes there's an excellent pie shop just north of Ullapool on one of the best roads you'll ever see in Europe).

I look forward to your comments

Steve and Pam
