Cairngorms midsummer mini adventure

 


There is nothing better than 3 days in the wilderness to restore energies and forget about your daily life. It was like destiny wanted us there. What are the odds of finding space in the Aviemore youth hostel for 3 nights, and bike space on both outbound and inbound train, and kind of good weather too??

The Pictish Trail cycle

 

 


I don't know what possessed me this time, but I was actually the one suggesting we should cycle the Pictish Trail

It was not easy (mostly due to the wintery weather conditions despite being June), but it was definitely more cyclable than most of the gravel routes we have done, and enjoyable too (despite the headwind...). After 7 days and ½ of cycling we are now back home completely destroyed but with a full lot of new memories we will treasure for a long while.
