Penny Farthing Torridon
Some tough hills up from Applecross to Loch Torridon. And today a bloke rode past on a penny farthing with a pith helmet.
Joff I presume?

Re: Penny Farthing Torridon
I've done some riding up there. On a road bike. But a penny farthing?!

Ffs another fanny cycling the nc500. Just don't. Really trust me on this
Re: Penny Farthing Torridon
Being an occasional Penny rider myself, I clearly see the appeal to ride the NC.
Just because you can. The steeps mean walking but basically it's just another lovely way to ride a bicycle and enjoy the outdoors. Nothing else...

Re: Penny Farthing Torridon
I just received a photo of a loaded Penny Farthing in Lochinver from a friend who's biking and hunting in Scotland.
I'll see if he was much surprised to find that I knew who the Penny belonged to, when we meet for Marmite and crumpets.
