The Scottish Adventure

A lack of blogging recently. Mostly this has been down to using the time I'd usually spend writing this on planning a Summer holiday.

Rosie and I had a cycle touring holiday in the Lake District last year, which we enjoyed immensely, so we decided that this year we'd like to do more of the same. Ultimately we would like to ride from John O'Groats to Lands End, but we felt that might be a bit too big a leap from the short distances we were riding last year. A couple of weeks riding up the west coast of Scotland seemed much more sensible.


So here's the route we'll be cycling. It's about 340 miles in total. Daily distances being 30-55 miles, and with a few days off, so not too strenuous.

Needless to say we've got it all booked up now. We're staying in a mixture of hostels and B&Bs, and we're travelling up and back by train. Of course the only thing one can't book is the weather, but hopefully that will be good!

Not long now! I'm really looking forward to it!
