Island 12 - Oronsay, 29th June 2014

Even the bike is tired in the hot sun

Farmed by the RSPB

The pictures of the Oronsay visit say it all really. This small island is off the end of Colonsay and can only be reached by crossing the sand at low tide.  Not at all suitable for bikes but since when did that stop this project?

Only accessible at low tide

Supporter Bill walks the bike back across the sand

It was a very hot day and it felt very desert-like on Oronsay where there is very little shelter.

This island is an important bird reserve and we loved all the black sheep which live there. I am not including pics of sheep in this very serious blog :-).

It was handy that the Colonsay Hotel had an outside tap so that the support team could wash the bike afterwards.

Washing off the salt water is part of the support package, it seems!
