Big Hole, False Ruin and a Missing Bridge: A Lunan Burn Reconnaissance
Today’s wee eMTB expedition had one clear primary objective: get outdoors and inhale some fresh air. A modest ambition, perhaps, but an important one.
Secondary objectives included collecting a few photographs for Geograph and capturing some potential Komoot Trail Photos. No Romans today. Not one. An extraordinary lapse in operational…

Fort, Fortress and a Track to Nowhere: An Inchtuthil Adventure

Gravel Ride - Mission Failed
Well the mission was to get some photos of a remote demolished mansion. Alas, a field of cows and calves giving us the evil eye literally stood between us and the target. We wimped out. We'll be back. Instead we collected some potential Trail Photos for Komoot.

The mission looked wonderfully simple on paper: take the gravel bike out from Kinloch, follow a compact loop and investigate the feature marked as a ‘tomb’ on the OS map. A small label. A large question. Exactly the sort of cartographic mystery…
