What was that like? We're taking the gravel bikes up soon to try and ride An Turas Mor which the GNT is based on up there. I'm trying unsuccessfully to test pack stuff I don't take racing, ie. waterproof trousers, waterproof socks, camping stove, full size sleep pad. Wondering what to leave home or maybe just spend a week wearing the waterproof trousers everywhere? Stupid bikepacking.
It was most excellent. We started off at my friend's house in Edinburgh on Friday morning, got the train to Glasgow, wrote to the start of Part 6 of the GNT along the River Kelvin and then up to Callender where we stayed the night. The second day we rode to just east of Bridge of Gaur, and then diverted off the route along the southern shore of Loch Rannoch to Kinloch Rannoch where we stayed the night. Then the next day we rode along the north shore of Loch Rannoch, rejoined the route, and went over Rannoch Moor and the Military Road to Fort Augustus, and stayed in Invermorison.
On Monday we rode to Inverness along the southern shore of Loch Ness, picked up a hire van at Inverness Airport, drove to Edinburgh Airport, dropped off the van, and rode back to my friend's house where we'd started from along the canal. Twas all very jolly.
