Very nice 

I did a 200 last weekend, the first 75km from Aberdeen to Pennan was straight into a northerly wind

How many cars did you see?
Looks very empty. 

Stornoway to Barvas and Leurbost to Stornoway were 'busy' (Lewis rush hour) but on the west side there is hardly any traffic - a car probably passes every 3-5 minutes   

Very nice 

I did a 200 last weekend, the first 75km from Aberdeen to Pennan was straight into a northerly wind 

I planned it so the first 50km and last 40 km were into the wind, a long tail wind stretch in the middle. 

If I'd have gone to Leverburgh I'd have had a 100km homeward slog  head wind all the way. 

wind was about 20 mph NE, but rose to over 30 mph for the last 10 - 15 km
