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 trails and finally old railway lines, maintained by Aberdeen councils. A short section on the NCN1 as well. A lot of paved surfaces through really quiet and beautiful countryside. Never very demanding and the E-gravel battery, easily did in excess of sixty miles, loaded. We camped on one night, using an electric hook up on a caravan site, near Dufftown. Peterhead (Keith Inch) is the farthest point east on the Scottish mainland, and far less pretty than the most westerly extremity of Ardnamurchan! Anyone interested in donating can find Adele on her Facebook page. Thanks

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, in case the small burn is not running.

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. We were blessed with good autumn weather and colours. It had been raining all day at home in Fort William!

Misty Lochs and big trees
A misty, windless autumn day with rare glimpses of the sun. The well-kept Ardverikie estate covers a large area of the Scottish west highlands, bordering with Strathspey to the east, and is surrounded by numerous 'Munro' mountains. Responsible access for all and development of renewable energy sources are high priorities here. A large pump storage scheme is in the pipeline for development and will raise the height of Lochan na h-Earba by twenty metres, I am told. The estate will build a new footpath to the foot of Ardverikie Wall, one of Scotland’s best 'severe' grade rock climbs. Fingers crossed that it will be rideable on a mountain bike!

I need to do that before the wonderful landscape below the Wall is drowned!
