It certainly did this time. Seen a few tonight and another leapt out in front of us on the bikes the other day. Beautiful. 😊

Appreciation for J’s driving skills right now in the middle of this night, in the middle of nowhere, on a dark and desolate mountain road thick with ice.

Moody day on the loch has gifted our tired legs a rest day and my latest chapter a rogue little twist. Must be something in the water.

After sleeping on a burn all week it’s going to take some mighty adjustment going from flowing water outside my bedroom window back to the sound of tractors, banging and early morning shouting about gas deliveries.

Best stop on the loch. Beat our β€˜24 time on the loop today, despite the pain in places after yesterday’s hike a bike. Savage ride.

It is, 1000 ft of climbing in less than ten miles. All off road too, more suited to MTB for sure, but so beautiful. Definitely an experience!

My bike looking out to sea in Scotland. A silhouette of a castle can be seen in the distance.

After two long days on the road, little sleep, a weird night and then an encounter with a dancing hitchhiker, there are few eloquent words. But we’re here, back in Scotland and it’s beyond beautiful as always.

A moody black and white photo of Hadrian’s Wall. A single tree can be seen in the near distance.

Somewhere in Cumbria. Zero bags unpacked, base layer somewhere deep in the van, chain dry as dust, but this place is for one night only so we had to do it. Lovely little spin.

Something to do with the hour, I think.
