   Cheers everybody 🍻 enjoying another pint of Murphy's at the County Hotel in #Stornoway (it'd be rude not to) https://untp.beer/NXmJe

     Yes, Neil is a good guy, shame that you had to have such a bad experience before you met him. I hope that you had a nice time on the island outside of your punctures.

     I loved Stornoway when I was on the outer islands. Until i clipped a rock near the Isle of Harris gun club and had to be towed back to Stornoway, on a sunday with 2 flat tires.

     Cheers to the owner of Stornoway Spares at 8 Bells Rd. for getting me fixed up on a Sunday evening so I could get back to Tarbert to make the morning ferry.

     Also, I happened to be there the weekend they converted the airport to a drag strip. So much fun that night!

     It was a wonderful time! I'd go back in a heartbeat. The Tow driver got us in touch that night. Funny thing was, that exact rock was a known hazard that the tow driver has rescued plenty of people prior to my run-in. The tow driver was petitioning the council to remove it. That was 2015.

     @kajer i can't say anything. I grew up here, was away for 10 years before returning to buy the house I grew up in and married a local girl. I sampled mainland life and decided I like island life better 👍🏻
