‘I hope I remember how to walk,’ says the saddlesore Steve McAllister after cycling a good chunk of his 8,000-mile route. At the time of writing, Steve had just cycled through what he describes as ‘the unbelievably beautiful beaches and rocky rolling landscape of West Harris,’ only to be confronted by a ‘stark, mountainous’ climb over North Harris, including Clisham. Steve started his epic journey at Penlee in Cornwall in September 2015 and aims
to visit every single RNLI lifeboat station around the UK and Republic of Ireland. He’s hoping to raise £8,000 for the RNLI and meet lots of volunteer lifeboat crew along the way. You can follow Steve’s progress on his fantastic blog at rnlicoastalcycleride.com.
