Again depending on the terrain and weather, also what time of day you start out. Take the WRT leaving at 1pm Sat - up to 30 miles Sun - 50 miles (maybe another 70 would be ok if less hilly or technical without any pushing Mon - 20 miles to the start. Take the Cairngorm outer loop https://welovemount...

There is no way I could ever do any of this, or want to ride 112 ...

Sold to Phil.

Where the bivi spot is, it's sandy, but only a short push from the gravel road that runs to the south.
Just follow the fat bike tyres.

Summitoppler and I are riding our Fat Bikes as we'll ride back to the start of our loop down the beach and through the sand dunes the morning afterwards.

An Instagram story of his said that he had to bail because of the savage winds

Not really bike packing.
