What can I say ..🤔 back in the 60's four of us went from Epsom in Surrey all the way to Kingussie, Scotland via the Eastern track, ran out of time, so had to head back on the western side. The whole trip in 3 weeks youth hostelling with 2 bloody great panniers fitted over the rear wheels of my Claude Butler - a triple clanger at one end with a chain connecting to a 5 gear changer at the other end, and only being able to use 13 gears because the chain wouldn't expand/contract enough at the extremes! And I watch this excellent video film of yours while lying in bed from what is gloriously entitled a 'Spine Stroke!' and I'm loving every moment! I might add i must be slightly mental cause I'm thinking that when I'm fully recovered I might persuade my stepson to join me on that 200 mile endurance course you have video'd. This video has brought back the memories of the sheer joy of peddling along country roads, out of the way of the main roads when possible, and all this enjoyment done with maps! 🙂🙂🙂 I've just asked the wife of we could cycle this route, in 3 days with the addition of electrically assisted bikes. I've been told I'm hallucinating. Possibly so. Keep up the excellent videos. I envy you 🥴

Would you create a Chanel called Global bikepacking network ? Would love that even if it would only upload a couple times a year

A huge thumbs up from me! Absolutely the best video on the channel. A fantastic part of the country with stunning scenery. I was fortunate to experience the Etape Loch Ness sportive a couple of days ago, having the opportunity to ride around Loch Ness was an experience in itself. Watching this video brings back the memories and fuels my desire to return for more epic riding. Keep up the great content.

Brings back memories - I bikepacked a large chunk of this route back in 1984, just after the Kylesku bridge opened (the Falcon Cotswold I used is currently on my turbo trainer, minus panniers). Met a golden eagle on the road near Achmelvich early in the morning, feeding on a carcass. Spectacular views in Torridon and of Stac Pollaidh and Suilven. Would be sweet to head back again while I'm still able.
