Some great photos in a fab country, brings back memories of many a happy tour. But sad to say not since old Krankie cast her wicked spell. Any of the good old remote bars left standing or probably more to the point how many have fallen??
Finally got to take the bike for a longer ride than just back and forth to work for the first time in weeks.
This is The Macallans new visitor centre – looks more like Tele-Tubbie land from the outside, but apparently the inside experience is something else.
Seems to match the contours of the local hills when viewed from this angle
I was determined to find some snow – guess this place will do
Absolutely mobbed – every car park was chocker
And this is the lastest distillery on Speyside – but they just knock out gin from this one, so no waiting years before you can sample the product, if that’s your tipple
Well, after over 400 miles since yesterday morning, I think I can safely say that the 21 year old Alp is fairly sorted. Took a 120 mile run over to the Red Squirrel camp site at Glencoe Saturday morning and met up with a fellow Alp rider.
We them covered around 150 miles of small dirty roads and some forest tracks before dinning at the Clachaig Inn.
Said our farewells early Sunday morning, the man heading home via Glencoe and me heading for home via Kinlochleven loop , Forts Bill & Augustus and Inverness
Apparently, according to Google maps, the filming of Hagrids hut occurred reet close to the campsite . . .
Site of Hagrids Hut . . .allegedly
I’ve a pic somewhere of the hut they used, in situ....a few of us from this very site were doing the 3 national peaks back in about 2003/4 and stayed at the Clachaig....anyway, as you were.
Transalps have always been one of those bikes I’ve always thought I should own. No frills, just ride.
Nice one Steve, good pics and route.
Heading to Kingairloch tomorrow for a wild camp and will take in some gravel routes on the way there/back on the KTM...lovely unspoilt area
