Day 5: Fort Whilliam - Bridge of Orchy
Rain was coming, and so was fatigue.
We started slowly: coffee, pastries, and a small goal — ride to Glenfinnan and see the famous viaduct.
No Hogwarts Express that day, unfortunately. But honestly, it didn’t matter.
Plans to go to the Isle of Mull were dropped due to weather, but…

Day 4 : Dalwhinnie - Fort William
After 9.5 hours of sleep, everything felt better.
Breakfast at the only café in the village cost £40 for two coffees and avocado toasts — painful, but necessary. We stocked up for the next 100 km and headed out.
“Only one tricky section,” Bruno said.
That meant 5 km of…

Day 3 : Bothy - Dalwhinnie
We woke up to horses grazing right outside the window.
After a short night and a quick breakfast, we headed towards the Cairngorms Loop. River crossings were now routine, and my €35 Crocs turned out to be one of the best investments of the trip.
The weather was unexpectedly warm…

Day 2 - Killin - Bothy
This was where the Highlands really began. The scenery shifted into something almost like Mongolian степpe — wide, open, and wild.
We barely saw anyone that day.
Then the route disappeared. A collapsed bridge, no visible trail..
We decided to go “by feeling.” The bog disagreed.
One wrong step and…

Day 1 — Stirling to Killin
The train to Stirling was quick and bike-friendly. We used the time to reorganize bags, grab a second breakfast, and double-check the route.
The weather was cooler, with light rain. The first day was mostly asphalt and passed through several towns — our last real chance to resupply.
Finding 300…

Day 0 — Edinburgh
Edinburgh is absolutely worth coming back to. We spent the first day riding without luggage, checking our bikes at a local shop, and exploring the city.
Carlton Hill, Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street, the Royal Mile — and then out towards the quieter Pentlands and coastal views near Queensferry. Around 70…
