Suilven Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Fairplay to you DRS I cycled past the ground a couple of years ago whilst cycling from Butt of Lewis to Vatersay - I remember thinking at the time that it must be a God forsaken place to watch a game of football in the middle of winter !!! Lovely little ground mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus told the wife that the Western Isles were flat I have a mate who got a bad head injury on the Clisham and spent a week in Western Isles Hospital. The other guys were away ahead coasting down the North side and he thinks the wind plucked him off. I cycled from the ferry in North Uist down to Barra and back many years ago over 3 days. Couldn't buy sun cream anywhere and got a badly burned napper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suilven Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Beautiful part of the world - loved every minute of it and looking forward to going back one day in the not too distant future - may even take in a game while I am there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
