Sann tro na meadhanan shòisealta a fhuair na peathraichean Kerry is Kirsty Nic a'Phi à Uibhist a Deas a-mach càite an robh na slighean baidhseagail a b' fheàrr le muinntir na dùthcha. An turus sa tha iad sìos is suas bruthaichean casa san Eilean Sgitheanach agus air tìr-mòr, cuide ri Fiona Ghrannd a tha a' fuireach air an Eilean.

Feumaidh iad an toiseach dìreadh bho Aiseag, mus tèid iad sìos leis an leathad lùbach gu Caol Reatha. Gheibh iad a-null gu Gleann Eilge air tìr-mòr air a bhàt'-aiseig, an Glenachulish, an aona bhàta dhen t-seòrsa - deic ga tionndadh le neart a' chriubha - air fhàgail air an t-saoghal. Suas an uairsin an aghaidh leathad sàrachail gu mullach Màm Ràtagain, às am faic iad sealladh bòidheach thar beanntan Chinn Tàile.

Cycling sisters Kerry and Kirsty MacPhee, from South Uist, take to social media to find out the nation's favourite bike routes. In this episode, they take on big hill climbs in the south of Skye and the mainland with Fiona Grant, a cycling aficionado who lives in Skye.

The first steep climb starts at Ashaig before a swift descent with sharp alpine bends to Kylerhea. Here they catch the world's only hand-operated turntable ferry, the Glenachulish, across the water to the mainland to reach the picturesque village of Glenelg. From here they carry on to another gruelling climb up to the summit of Mam Ratagan with its rewarding views of the Five Sisters of Kintail.
