Montrose to Kingussie cycle

 

There are routes that are so good that we need to do them at least once a year. This is one of them. Lucky for us, my random day off coincided with a mini heatwave. Lately we have preferred to wait until the last minute and check the weather before booking anything, a bit risky since by then there would not be affordable accommodation nor transport available, but this time everything fell into place for this mini adventure and gosh I needed some quality time out, far away from everyone. It was immensely pleasurable, nothing went wrong and we had the time of our lives (apart from the last stream crossing incident...). 

Easter 2026 cycle

 

What would you do when spring is at the door and you have a few days off for the Easter break? Normally we would have gone to the West Coast, but the weather up there was not great and we couldn't be bothered with the herds of people, so this time for a change we opted for an easy cycle along the Eastern Coast, from Newcastle back home in 2 days.
