Asainnte

Episode 6 of 8

Cycling sisters Kerry and Kirsty MacPhee bike Scotland's favourite cycle routes. In this episode, they are in Assynt, on Scotland's north-west coast.

Sann tro na meadhanan sh貌isealta a fhuair na peathraichean Kerry is Kirsty Nic a'Phi a Uibhist 脿 Deas a-mach c脿ite an robh na slighean baidhseagail a b' fhe脿rr le muinntir na d霉thcha. An turus seo tha iad ann an Asainnte cuide ri Ruairidh MacAoidh: ch貌rd e cho math ris-san a bhi tighinn a seo air saor-l脿ithean na bhalach 貌g, 's gu bheil e an-diugh a' toirt a theaghlach fh猫in a-nuas.

Tha Ruairidh 's na h-igheanan a' t貌iseachdainn air rathad na m貌na, air am biodh muinntir Chlachtoll a' dol a-mach gu na puill-mh貌na aca. Cha do rinn de脿rrsadh na gr猫ine cus gus na boglaichean a thiormachadh, agus chan fhada gus a bheil Ruairidh a' cur car-a-mhuiltein dhan pholl. Cha bhi e fada fliuch, agus an latha cho bl脿th. Tha iad an uairsin a' gabhail an rathad m貌r, a' stad greiseag air tr脿igh Chlachtoll, mus cuir iad an aghaidh air an ceann-uidhe - taigh-solais Rubha St貌ir.

Cycling sisters Kerry and Kirsty MacPhee from South Uist take to social media to find out the nation's favourite cycle routes. In this episode, they are in Assynt on the north west coast with Ruairidh MacKay, who has fond memories of coming to the area when he was a young boy and now brings his own family here.

The girls and Ruairidh start off on the Clachtoll road once used by locals to reach remote peat banks. They are greeted with dazzling sunshine which, despite its best attempts, hasn't dried out all of the bogs and Ruairidh takes the plunge head first into one. Luckily for him he isn't long drying off in this heat.

They rejoin the main road and continue up the coast, stopping at Clachtoll beach, which seems Mediterranean on a day like this, before finishing their day's cycling at the dramatic seascapes of Stoer Lighthouse.
