Making a start - anyone for a Malt of the Month?
Intrepid whisky connoisseurs ready for the off. Where did I put my luminous jacket?
No, we didn't stop for ice cream. Lunch at the Ardview Inn (didn't get round to looking at the lunch menu in the Islay Hotel). Hard work this cycle touring.
Next stop.
Just time for a few wee drams.
And then we hit the road again, a whole two miles I think?

 Time to relax with a sample. |
No pictures of Ardbeg but I think we went there too. Arriving at our campsite.
Only the second picture without a hi-vis jacket!
Darkness begins to fall.
Tents down, time to don the jackets.
Big cycle back through Port Ellen, onto Bowmore and down to Bruichladdich. And it only rained a bit.
Another wee sample perhaps?
Port Mor Campsite at Port Charlotte. Splendid. And a great view of the football.
ssssss
And time for a reward for all that hard cycling. Actually quite a big reward as they didn't serve food for ages. How would we pass the time?
Sunday, struck camp and headed up to Bridgend for lunch.
Heading for Port Askaig, and the delights of Jura.
Nearly there.
Relaxing in the Jura ferry lounge
Looking back from Jura.
Roads were a bit steeper in places here.

View from my tent.
Rather pretty.
Nightfall again. Blue jackets for after dark.
Tranquility.
And our final distillery visit on Monday morning. No samples though!
Despite there only being one road I managed to lost Mark and Stuart, but got to see a nice rainbow on the cycle back to the ferry.
Also came across a deer.
Just great.
I also spotted this otter having lunch
Jura ferry slip.
