I spent 5 days exploring the Argyll area of Scotland, using some of the Wild About Argyll Bike Packing Trail, a 655km route that puts you right amongst the beauty of Argyll.
Argyll's an area I've wanted to explore more of since paddle boarding some of it last year during my Scottish Adventure Triathlon. It was really cool to see it from the land this time - and bike packing was an ace way to do it!

so true what you say regarding swim coaching and what you learn. I learnt to swim as a child but also got additional coaching as an adult and realised what I was doing before was just moving in the water.

Fantastic video Sarah, I just love your enthusiasm. The first castle you visited with the pigeon poo on the stairs, where you said there a hole down there, well that was a long drop. it would have had a timber capping on it with a hole large enough for you to sit and do your business on, basically a medieval WC. I can't wait for the next adventure, thanks for taking us along ATB Big Dave Scotland

@georgemacdonald8899 2 года назад

Really cool to see bike adventuring in my old back yard(used to live in Argyll), thanks!!! I have ridden over 20k miles by bike now and find the best way to reduce punctures are tubes and kevlar tire liners. Here in the SF bay area we have a plant that sheds thorns, the impale themselves on your tires by some kind of magical force, sticking right through and wounding the tube. The tire liner keeps them at bay, also works good for glass/nails/... If you ever make it over to the west coast USA, you should do the PCT trail and then bike back from Vancouver to San Diego along the coast. Take in the side trips to Kings Canyon/Sequoya, Yosemite Valley, Whitney, Crater Lake, Mt. Rainier,... Could have a really nice year, or 2 half year trips. If you do, let us know I may be able to help provision/supply and gear ya up...

@GusExplores 2 года назад

Brilliant video as always. You need to watch your paddle boarding off the coast in that area, that's where the massive whirlpool is and the ocean turns into a water fall between a couple of the islands. Worth a visit but do it in a powerful boat. I grew up near Kilmartin and used to love playing in Carnasserie Castle and around the cairns, I kinda feel you might have seen more of Argyll than me now though 🤣 that camp spot before day 5 on Gighia was amazing just wish you could guarantee the clear skies you got. Cheers for sharing this one

Good to see you back on the small screen Sarah. Cracking trip! I know there's loads of tubeless sealants out there, I tried Stan's normal stuff - which didn't work for me. However, I found the Silca Sealant very good (the floaty bits are larger). It does come with it's own problem though, as you have to pull the tyre off the bead and pour it into the tyre (it blocks the valve if you try to put it in through the valve). I think the Stans Race Formula is similar. Good luck.
