After yesterdays exertions we had a slightly longer lie than usual and Hilary and Ian provide a lovely breakfast for us before setting off again. We were on the road about 9.50 with a very strong wind and the threat of heavy showers. For the most part the wind propelled us very fast in a north easterly direction, and by some miracle bus shelters appeared just exactly when needed!
We could write a long essay on the bus shelters we have known in Lewis and Harris. However the most necessary one was just as we were close the Butt of Lewis itself. Ian called them mushrooms but later we heard a more colourful description. But since this time the heavy shower contained hail stones and every bin in the village blew over as it struck, we were very happy to have any shelter!
From there, once the weather cleared we had only a mile or so to go to the lighthouse and the end of the road. There we met Jackie, a woman on her own who had done it in 4 days on a standard road bike and we were full of admiration of her! 
The recommendation for lunch was the Wobbly Dog in Ness. Without being told about it we would never have found it, and what a find it was! Great food, a warm welcome, an owner full of stories ( he tells visitors that the mushroom bus shelters are helicopter landing pads) and a dry and warm place to sit. This was the first time in the whole journey we were able to sit at a table and order an ordinary lunch. Take note folks!
After a very comfortable hour or so it was a tough cycle back to Borve. We sheltered once beside a church to let a squall through but otherwise just barrelled on. It took us about an hour of cycling to get back to our glamping pod (where we had left our gear this morning). So pleased to get here! And it is so cosy, cute and well equipped!
We had a nice meal at the Borve Hotel. I had Chicken Balmoral (and had the choice of the usual stalwarts of beer battered fish, steak and Guinness pie etc etc! )
