Union Canal/JMW to Edinburgh..I don't think Europeans understand the British thing of private estates 😂

So the socialist Europeans don't understand the British thing of my castle, my land so komoot routed me to a locked electric estate gate and my only way to the otherside and rest of route, involved sneaking through the side of a garden, hauling bike over wall then climbing over.…

Balloch/JMW/WHW/Milngavie

It appears I can't prenounce balloch right, after hearing it on the train so that's added to Milngavie.
The rain didn't really amount to much and it went really well, I got my botany recording done and made good time all until the awful section just before strathblane/blanefield which my…

Abandoned John Muir Way Day 3 part 2

After train to Dalmeny, more steps and quick lunch in a crowded South Queensferry I set off to try and follow the John Muir Way to Linlithgow for my overnight.

Unfortunately by this point the WSW wind was gusting 30mph+ and its was like cycling through treacle into it. I…

Day 3 Part 1 Union Canal and Water of Leith

Due to strong westerly winds all day, I spent the morning remapping and structuring my day. with two short rides joined together by train.

Apparently their is some sort of parkrun along the union canal in Edinburgh on a sunday, and it was popular. But I really enjoyed the sights…

John Muir Way: Drummohr campsite to Edinburgh

A short section to lock bike up securely at Pollock Halls of Residence (my overnight) and spend day with my dad. It was very warm but thankfully a good breeze (which on subsequent days would become a real problem)

I didn't realise there was an option on komoot to avoid…

John Muir Way: North Berwick to Prestonpans/Drummohr campsite

Everywhere with delay: First day of my adventure cycling botanical sketchbook pilgrimage and the previous nights spectacular lighting has knocked out the signalling resulting in my train delayed by 90 minutes. I got undercover at the station just in time, before torrential rain and thunder appeared.

So a much later…

Since coming back from the GGW, I ended up with a long running sinus infection, now on week 4 of it, 3 trips to GP (so far) and it has wrecked my fitness. My legs currently don't want to cycle or walk far

GGW P2: From realising 🛞 puncture to Fort William (and by a miracle not walking)

Nothing like a fellow cyclist to restore your faith in humanity. I ended up walking with 🚲 to Gairlochy to access my options, and came across the two other cyclists who'd stayed in the same hostel in Fort Augustus. They gave me a helping ✋🏻 with replacing my inner and…
