  • They do a tour ;)

    For some years, now, I've had an ambition to run a whisky and cycling tour of my home area (I was born near the banks of the Deveron river), where the countryside is beautiful and there is the densest cluster of distilleries in the world. Next weekend is my first (with my friends from the Brixton Nihilist Cycling Club).

    1. Overnight train from London leaving on Friday night and arriving in Aberdeen in the morning.
    2. Saturday: 19 mile ride to Glen Garioch for a tour, then 18 miles to Glendronach for another tour, then 14 miles to Huntly to stop in a B&B
    3. Sunday: 14 mile ride to Glenfiddich in Dufftown, then 8 miles to Glen Grant in Rothes, then 5 miles to Aberlour, then 9 miles to Cragganmore in Ballindalloch, then 6 miles to Glenlivet on the other side of Ballindalloch, then 14 miles back to Dufftown and another B&B. So Sunday will be 5 tours and rather easier cycling ;)
    4. Monday: in the morning, we're picking two distilleries very close to Dufftown for a couple of tours, then riding 14 miles back to Huntly and catching a train to Aberdeen (only takes an hour). Late lunch in Aberdeen and a train back to London (gets in around 22:30).

    Should be a huge amount of fun and having done it once, I will be organising more :) Any takers?
