HT550, Scotland's ultimate MTB adventure? | PART ONE

  • Опубліковано 30 вер 2023
  • Join me and fellow Enduro racer turned bike packing legend Joe Nation as the HT550 takes us through 550miles of Scottish wilderness. With surprises around every corner join us as we discover some of the most beautiful and remote parts of Scotland.
    This was my first ever bike packing mission, and what a start! We stayed in hotels or b&b's each night which meant warm showers, and time to dry out, warm up and get some proper food in us. With the rest of the race season ahead of me it was important for me to recover well. Joe was fresh off a 3rd place at the world renowned hardest off road bike packing race the Tour Divide - he smashed it to third place. So thankfully he wasn't able for his race pace and we could go at my 'chill' pace. Haha!
    Part two out now!

    That's tour mode? Amazing video but you guys are off the scale. You need to explain that most people will have a good chance of dying on the first day or second day if they try this itinerary. Seriously. People on the 'Badger' often arrive in Rannoch 2 or 3 hours later than planned, and that's only from Killin. And you started in Tyndrum, and then kept going, not just to Laggan but over to Fort Augustus? And that was just the first day? Seriously, ambulances and paramedics are few and far between in the highlands, and the air ambulance helicopter and MRTs are busy enough without having to deal with collapsed bike-packers who are not as fit as they thought.
