Bridge to Nowhere

The sun was shining on Sunday and the wind blew me out to Tolsta and beyond, all the way to the road's end and the 'Bridge to Nowhere'. The concrete bridge is a sad reminder of an abandoned road building scheme started by Lord Leverhulme in 1920 intended to create jobs and link Tolsta to Ness. However, once over the bridge, the road turns to a stony track which soon gives way to a waymarked boggy track, over the cliff tops to Ness.

How great it would be to have the choice of a loop to cycle. But, having reached the end of the road, with nowhere else to go, I turned to head home.

An 'out and back' is not so bad when there's a chance of coffee and cake ;-) So (as it was not too early) I called in to see my good friends, Eve and Andrea, with the excuse of wanting a look (and drool) at the 'new' Eroba that Eve has loaned from Vic for L'Eroica.

After coffee and wafers, Eve took the chance of her first ride on the bike and (joined by Vic who was riding Andrea's Argos) accompanied me for the ride back to town.
