    The road to Rubha Reidh

    Every year I take part in the Round Britain Rally. One of the highlights of the 2012 event was the ride out to the Rubha Riedh Lighthouse on the west coast of Scotland near Gairloch. One of my fellow competitors has just posted which I thought you may find interesting.

You'll have...
