The keyboard on this tacky little GPRS device is crap, and I just lost this entire entry to bad user interface design (if you press the biggest button on the device, it throws it all away):
My dad and I drove to Glasgow, arriving this morning at about 2am. Then, up at 8am for the first leg of our bike ride around Scotland. Train to Crainlarich, then cycled the 42 miles or so to Obar.
Good bits: downhilling, meeting some highland cattle, eating lots of Dextrose.
Bad bits: getting really, really wet, using this shitty thing, shoelaces caught in pedals, twice, not being fit enough.
Now we’re on the ferry from Oban to Barra. Look it up yourself, I’m not posting a link. We’ve just waved to Mull. Can’t believe this is a five-hour ferry journey. Don’t think I’ve ever spent so long on a ferry and not had to wind my watch back or forward an hour.
Oh, and have met other cyclists on the ferry. But that’s not terribly interesting.
