@MisterMikkel always liked the idea of travelling via tandem but the logistics with storing and transporting have put me off. Imagine the unbridled joy or riding one would make all those 'issues' disappear, even if it's just for the speeds descending fully laden!
@cozey there was just enough rough stuff to make you appreciate the smooth tarmac sections. Weather-wise we did okay, got drenched coming into Glen Coe but generally didn't pay too much attention to the forecast as it was so changeable.
@jono84 I'd say 32mm wide tyres minimum, otherwise there's be a lot of pushing the bike over the bumpy stuff. Saying that going June/July it might be more forgiving.
