Cycling the Hebridean Way for Secondary1st
Dom and Paul are going on a seven-day journey from Essex to the Outer Hebrides and back so that they can cycle the Hebridean Way and raise money for Secondary1st. They will spend four days driving over 1000 miles and ten hours on ferry trips between the islands, with three days to cycle over 150 miles across the islands carrying everything they need on their bikes. They will cycle through some spectacular scenery from white shell beaches to rugged hills of Lewisian gneiss taking two ferries and six causeways to cross between the islands. The Hebridean Way starts from the island of Vatersay at the southern tip of the archipelago and crosses Barra, Eriksay, South Uist, Benbecula, Grimsay, Nort Uist, Berneray and Harris to the Butt of Lewis lighthouse in the far north, a journey of 185 miles or297 km.
