Part of a recumbent trike ride south via Eriskay to the Isle of Barra in the Outer Hebrides, then camping on the machair near Barra beach airport. Gaelic music is 'Beo an Duil' used with the kind permission of Uist band, Bi Beo. It's a song for exiles across the world, who long and dream of returning home and the tranquillity this thought gives to their heart.

  • Lovely Mike.

    I am looking at a recumbent for my next bike. Can you suggest any recumbent forums on the net worth looking at?

    Can you tell me what it is like getting these bikes up hills and mountains.

    Steve

  • Thank you for your comments folks.

    The steepest hills are the worst, Steve, but thankfully there are not too many. I'll PM you with other answers.

  • Glad you liked the video. The airport sign alongside the tent was selected to give a little shelter from a forecast strong wind. It also provided a post around which to secure the trike security cable. Much better than tying it to my ankle!
