Absolutely incredible trip. I'm blown away by both of your fitness levels and the scenery. Love the picture of you both on the beach at the end. What an achievement! Brilliant video well done to you both
Thanks ☺️. Absolutely loved it. Much easier to cover the distances if you have a friend to chat to - the amazing scenery helps too! It’s as much mental fitness as it is physical fitness. Cheers!
Claire what a fabulous video and what an adventure. The scenery is stunning and I'm more than impressed with your adventure. Well done you two and thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks 😁. It was such a great trip. Already planning the next one 😅.
What a great route and seems like you struck lucky with weather showing off Scotland in all its beauty, stunning... Really enjoyed your video and great inspiration, cheers!
Thank you for your lovely comments. Glad we’ve inspired you 😊
Awesome adventure. Thanks that is on my bucket list.
Thanks. Definitely worth doing 🚵♀️🏕️😀
Just had the pleasure of watching your adventure following Jennifer’s recommendation. All that practice in the Baljaffray Woods has paid off handsomely! Thanks for sharing. Iain Murray.
You’re welcome 😀. Haha I hadn’t thought of that - baljaffray woods obviously prepared me well 😂. I hope you are well.
Excellent, well done both of you, your route brought back many happy memories
Thank you ☺️
Really enjoyed this, thanks for taking the time to make the video. I'v done one small bikepacking trip this year and I am keen to do more. Might try this one out, although its considerably further than the one i did :)
Thank you. I hope you get out on more adventures soon 😊
OMG Claire this is fantastic - what an adventure
Thanks ☺️
Great video, and great to have spent some time with you during your/our adventure!
Thanks. Was great to hear the alternative routes. Here’s to more adventures in the future.
Great video . Beautiful scenery. 👍🏻
Thank you ☺️
Enjoyed watching your coast to coast & nicely filmed ( glad you found the drone )
If there is anyway you can get the packs off and the stuff onto the bike - you'll find it more refreshing & less tiring when cycling, give it a try you will notice a big difference.
Not too well known, but The Scottish Outdoor Access Code ( SOAC ) allows responsible wild camping ( up to 4 people, bikepacking or backpacking etc ) in Playing Fields ( off the pitch etc, and asking if there are houses in sight nearby ) - a great option for an easy night in a village or town ! I always camp in the playing field in Ballater, not far from the old Station.
ATB enjoy your next tour.
Hey, thanks for your helpful comments. I have my drone in my pack and food for the day so it’s pretty light. As for Karen tho, I have no idea 🤷♀️ what she had in hers 🤣. Another ‘anything cage’ on the forks might help to put more stuff on the bike.
I didn’t know that about camping on playing fields. Very helpful, thank you.
Very Goody film : i líke it so much ❤
Thank you 😀
Looks really good. Definitely worth looking at if you can guarantee no midges - or stay in hotels / hostels.
Hotels/hostels are definitely doable. Chances are it will be windy in the mountains so that should keep the wee buggers at bay! Good incentive to keep moving too 😂
Fantastic video - great production and a real adventure! We really enjoyed watching this, several sections we recognised from our own trips. I keep thinking about getting a drone but you've gone and set me back a few months as I don't doubt I'd do the same and loose it! - At least you got to go a little 'off piste' for a while to retrieve it! :-) - seriously though loved the narration and the little bits of history.. I didn't realise that bridge in Glen Gairn was supposed to be for trains! very interesting.. Thanks again - ATB Tom
Thanks for your kind comments Tim. Glad you enjoyed it and glad I found my drone! 😂
What a great video! I’m in Montrose and was considering cycling to Oban but I’ll freeze the video and look at your routes and the two cycle paths mentioned. If you’re kind enough to reply to this comment how did you plan your route and identify the land rover tracks? I use Landranger maps but find not all tracks are passable due to private signs.
Thank you and glad you liked it. We used 1:50000 os land ranger maps. Bikewithgps is a good website that has some routes that users have put onto it. We used a route off that and adapted it a bit. In Scotland under the outdoor access code you have the right to roam (including cycling) almost anywhere with a few exceptions - like not into people’s gardens. In general the houses/lodges that we passed had a route around them so we did not go through their house grounds. I hope this helps.
Hope you enjoy your cycle 🚵♀️😃
@@mtbfree4914 Great - thanks!
Really enjoyed watching your adventure. Well done on the production. Route looks good. Do you have a GPX of the route at all?
Thank you. Glad you liked it. I’ve deleted the GPX files unfortunately 🙄.
Awesome adventure. Please can I as for some information about your bikes? Thanks
