Painting the Outer Hebrides
Cycling round Britain
Circumnavigating the country with my paints
IThere is a window of opportunity to add to my coastline of Britain by cycling and painting the Hebridean Way
This long distance cycling walking route links 10 islands, 6 causeways and 2 ferries
It’s over 200 miles along the ring of archipeligo islands that fringe the west coast of Scotalnd and tempt the adventurer to come and explore.
I left my Berkshire home in october and took several trains to london before cathcing the overnight sleeper train to Glasgow. Across to Queen Street station as the sun came up and a 3 and half hour rail journey to Oban with a change of train on the West Highland line at Crianlarich.
Squalls blew in as I loaded the bike onto the Cal Mac ferry through the narrow channels of the inner hebrides for 5 hours to Castlebay on the wee southern tip of the isle of Barra.
24 hours by public transport and I’m ready for a grand adventure…

It is without a doubt one of the great cycle and painting routes of the World. There are more paintings coming from this trip when I am back in the studio. Send an email to enquire about pieces you see here
