new Highland C2C and Cairngorms Loop

Post by pedalhead »

Hi all.

I'm leaving (in about 10 minutes!) for the Highlands & some BIG riding! First off, starting Monday morning on the Malaig->Inverie ferry, I'm riding a new Coast 2 Coast loop I've plotted with the help of some excellent local knowledge. Depending on time, I may ride it both ways, otherwise I'll get a train back from the end (Stonehaven) back to Malaig.

Then it's round 2, pick up the car & drive over to Blair Atholl for a quick rest and then a crack at the Cairngorms Loop. Quick bit of a snooze (and probably a little cry), then back home to sleep for a week.

Both rides of course will be self-supported style.

As usual you can follow my (lack of) progress here... http://pedalhead.net/satellite-tracking/

Cheers!

Not tied to that page ?
Twitter updates are coming through but don't know how you can link those to a tracking page.

Oops i must have set up the tracking page incorrectly. well i'm in Ballater on day 2. Should be finished but for the 8 hours of pushing/carrying out of 25 hrs total moving. changes to classic c2c not entirely successful! Oh well switching to touring mode now to up the fun. early finish today and pizza :-)
