A lovely road through the Lewis moors. The road has a gravel character, as the surface is asphalted but very uneven and rough. In addition, there are a lot of bumps that make even descents a challenge and you have to pedal again every now and then. The altitude that OpenMap or Komoot give is not correct, you have to multiply them by a factor of 2. Car traffic is also tiring. Whenever a car comes from the front or behind, you have to get off because the road is too narrow.
Nevertheless, this tour is recommended, there are fantastic views over the blooming heath and the surrounding mountains.
