Day 4 - clachtoll to scourie

Well it was pretty windy last night but no more tent collapses although bad sleep all round. Big morning of faff and a large fry up meant we got away at 11 despite best intentions. Wind wasnt as bad as expected so that helped. Road to drumbeg was steep in places but nothing too bad. Lunch was some soup at the hotel before we continued to the harder part of the route. The 25% hill was pretty mean but we all made it. On the descent i rounded a wooded corner and was confronted by a big stag. It bounded off but we managed to see it down below us and again when it crossed the road. A pretty energy sapping bit of road but well worth it. From hitting the main road the rest of the ride was downwind an nice but not outstanding. 29 miles 9mph average
