Exploring Aberdeenshire and beyond , avoiding as much tarmac as possible. Sometimes it doesn’t work out. Sometimes you find a wee hidden gem.

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…

🚴‍♂️ A Gentle Ride Down the Soča: From Bovec to Tolmin

The road ahead today was mostly flat, with just one proper climb waiting for us at the very end—perfect for a relaxed day of riding and plenty of sightseeing along the way.

However, first of all, we made a…

🚴‍♂️ Conquering Vršič: The Hardest, Most Spectacular Stage of the Journey

This was the toughest stage of our cycle trip—the day we climbed Vršič, the highest mountain pass in Slovenia. Even knowing what awaited us, nothing quite prepares you for a climb like this. There was also a fair amount…
