Below you will find our Hebridean Way Itinerary. In spring 2022 a team of four adventurous cyclists – Andy P, Andy S, Sarah and Mike – will set off on this island-hopping cycling tour.

The Hebridean Way is a 184-mile on-road route (or 224 miles when including cycling to the start from Castlebay and then to Stornoway after the finish), through the remote and spectacular islands of the Outer Hebrides. Ten islands, six causeways, two ferries (not including the ones taking us to the start and returning us to the mainland after finishing), and one mountain range.

One of the ultimate get-away-from-it-all rides of a lifetime, the route runs the full length of the Outer Hebrides, over remote moorland, past wide, white beaches and over memorable hills.
