Lagan - Ardverikie - Spean Bridge - Great Glen - Fort Augustus

This ride takes me from the village of Laggan along the River Spey towards Loch Laggan. It then passes through the Ardverikie Estate—and the house made famous by Monarch of the Glen—before climbing gradually towards the twin lochs of Lochan na h-Earba, where a pumped hydro storage scheme is being…

Stage 6 - Alps to Adriatic - Sežana to Piran

Very hesitant about completing the last day of our tour due to the extreme weather forecast. We delayed our start, and considered shortening the route by getting the train, or a lift, to Koper, but ended up going for it. The section around Trieste wasn’t very enjoyable, and we did…

What a stunning ride, and nice commentary too. I've been lucky enough to see the Lipazanas in action. They're incredible to watch. I took my mum to see them as it was a lifetime dream of hers. I'd forgotten all about it. Thanks for sharing and reviving an old memory. Hope the trip is going well.

Stage 5 - Alps to Adriatic - Smartno to Sežana

Leaving Smartno was tough, but we had a great day descending and meandering through vineyards as well as crossing into the Friuili region of Italy.

Today’s stage saw us ascend all the way back to the top of the Karst Plateau, and after the dramatic weather of the past days,…

Stage 4 - Alps to Adriatic - Tolmin to Smartno

We started today’s section in Tolmin, where the Tolminka and Soča rivers meet. Before setting off we wheeled our heavy bikes up from the cellar, getting a workout before we even got on our bikes!

First of all, we made a detour to visit the Tolmin Gorge, one of the…
