Dalwhinnie six loch loop
A two-day, mainly off-road tour with my Trek E-mtb. staying over night at the most picturesque and remote SYHA Loch Ossian. Both days were roughly the same mileage. The second day was harder than the first, involving sections of steep washed out gravel and push bike through very boggy ground…

County Mayo
A two-day trip, partly on one of the best greenways in Europe. County Mayo is certainly worth a visit, especially for families searching for moderate routes. A mixture of quiet back-roads, of which some were very steep. Plenty of extensive sandy beaches. Well signed and part of the Wild Atlantic…

County Sligo
A mixture of quiet, rural back-roads. Plenty of extensive sandy beaches. Reasonably well signed and part of the Wild Atlantic Way (Velo 1). Certainly worth carrying good mapping software or downloading GPX files before you start.

Paddle around Jura
A mellow, slow, six-day, clockwise circumnavigation around the wild indented, rocky coast of Jura. Plenty of wildlife and majestic scenery. A mixture of weather, including flat calm and annoying headwinds, never a tailwind! This trip was at the start of warm weather, slowly moving north.
Sea Eagles, Otters, Red Deer,…

Applecross loop
It's almost impossible to find a better short tour, anywhere in the UK. Often completed in a day. But, why rush on such an iconic journey? I shared some of the time with a strong, experienced cyclist from Manchester and he said it was definitely the top of his list.…

The Burma Road
What a wonderful route for an E-bike! Varied scenery and a very well maintained gravel estate track, especially on the first steep section. No problems with rough, loose and bouldery terrain. The steep section from Lynwilg would have been far harder if the track surface had not been fixed to…

Affric/Kintail Way and Kangeroo Pie
Bonkers, beautiful and brutal, especially the second day. We started in Cannich and the first night was spent at the remote and cosy Alltbeithe SYHA hostel. Up until that point the terrain amongst the mature Scots Pine, following the string of lochs to the east of the hostel were pure…

Aviemore to Peterhead
Accompanying a friend, Adele Pennington. She had started at Ardnamurchan lighthouse and also climbed all of the nine Scottish 4,000ft mountains on the way, raising funds for the Martin Moran Foundation. I joined for the last two days, following the Speyside Way for a short section, then on to whisky…

Cool in Glenloy
Very cold at times in the mist below the top of the inversion. Exploring all of the forest tracks, often there and back.

Paddle Eilean Shona
Taking advantage of some perfect, early winter weather. Eilean Shona was the obvious choice, with views over the the Inner Hebrides, Eigg, Muck and Rum. We took an anti-clockwise journey. One of my top five paddle campsites is at the south-west tip of the island. Make sure you carry water,…

Cheviots 'maiden voyage'
First visit to cycle in Northumberland, hopefully not the last, with Dave and Charlotte. Gravel (mostly), mud and grass. Only one big hill to gain the high, rolling ridge lines. Fifty % of battery remaining.

One steep hill, remote country
Glen Feshie/Tromie loop. One big hill on the traverse over into Glen Tromie. 49% of battery used and a fair amount of 'turbo'. Without turbo assist the link from Glen Feshie over to Glen Tromie would be very challenging. A remote area, with plenty of good mountain bike gravel trails.…
