After my boatwork I jumped on the bike for another sunny ride. I crossed the fascinating  moorland and reached the Calanais Standing Stones at the western side of Lewis.

Almost 5m high and 5000 years old, this prehistoric stone monument was only discovered about 170 years ago. Until today it remains a mystery.

The moorland is more tangible and a great source for peat, which is still being used by the locals although not as the primary source of fuel.

Fair winds…

Nice 5000 year old bike stand.
