Re: Calum's Road
I road it two summers ago, it was rough in patches but no problem on a road bike, I thought it was an amazing effort.

Re: Calum's Road
I'd never heard of this until I heard a play about it on R4 yesterday http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/galleries/p01hy0t4
What a feat of determination, guts and sheer hard work! It would be a travesty if it was allowed to crumble away. Like the islanders say, they pay the same council tax as everyone else so should receive the same services, but that is the problem faced by all rural communities... I'm battling the council on similar issues right now
