I’ll definitely get back up that way again before too long. I fancy checking out the Lochindorb area, etc.

(Notes tin hut for future bivvy spot)

Just make sure you check the wind forecast first Phil!

As I mentioned in my March BAM report, having recently explored some sections of the Speyside Way, I was keen to bikepack the ‘Moray Triangle’ (Speyside Way northeast to the Moray Firth; west on the Moray Coastal Trail; south on the Dava Way). I got it done last week, starting and finishing in Aviem...

Mrs G and I spent last week in a cottage up north at Cragganmore, right next to the Speyside Way, etc, etc. Very pretty camp! I've not bivvied in proper rain yet but it was enough that I doubt I'd sleep. I'm planning on making a bivvy that raises the fabric off my face. Do you have any thoughts or ...

Nice part of the world that Jimmy, friends of mine live at Blacksboat farm - just opposite Blacksboat station, a couple of miles up the SSway from Cragganmore. For future reference the woods above Blacksboat station contain many trails! I've also done the SSway / Moray coastal trail / Dava way circ...

Mrs G and I spent last week in a cottage up north at Cragganmore, right next to the Speyside Way. The weather was better than predicted and I managed to get four days out on the bike. On one of those days I rode north on the Way as far as Craigellachie, exploring left and right from there as I went ...

That's the attitude Stu! I haven't been to the Towers (yet) but it's clear you've established something pretty special down there. As is abundantly clear from the many previous posters' sentiments, we're all rooting for you and Dee and hope you emerge victorious against The Man.

As usual, it’s taken me a good few days to get round to writing it up but last Wednesday I headed west for a change, to Beecraigs Country Park, near Linlithgow in West Lothian. I know the place well, having played around on the MTB trails there quite often over the years. In order to get a few more ...

After a mostly disciplined week food-wise and riding most days, nice to see some good progress. I’m chuffed with that but now need to ensure I don’t get complacent (been there before!) and slip backwards. Great going bud ! that's gotta be nearly a stone! Keep it up Thanks mate.

Pleasantly surprised by that, given that I had a bit of a birthday blowout on Wednesday.
