Sanday, Westray and Papa Westray. Both bikes (and riders!) coping well and very little rain thankfully. We’ve utilised the full spectrum of island hopping mediums including on foot, by bike AND the world’s shortest flight - Papa Westray to Westray, around two minutes!

Prehistoric day on Eday, chambered cairns and monoliths, followed by some fun riding on the beach. The Surly Straggler and Moda Molto are both proving to be great choices for the two week trip. Interestingly Orkney has so far proved extremely quiet (especially given that it’s now mid season) with empty hostels and deserted beaches, pretty much the exact opposite to Skye and the West Coast.

Midweek on Orkney, Rousay, overnight at Kirkwall hostel and onwards to Eday for a beach wild camp. Great to see the puffins on Brough of Birsay!

Continuing our historical journey, the shop began around 1961 in a garage underneath a house in Rattle Ghyll, the house was and still is called Ghyllside. A chap called Ernie was the brains behind the operation and was a bit of an eccentric by all accounts. He was known for riding his invention a ‘mini farthing’ around the village and began his career in the cycle trade working in another bike shop in the village.

If anyone has any additional old photos of the shop we’d love to hear from you!
