This looks awesome/horrendous/mainly brilliant but Type 2 fun. Great stuff.
Camping or hostels/mixture?

In fairness, 4 of the 6 days were mostly sunny and lovely!
Camping would have been Type 3, stayed in pods at caravan parks and B&Bs. The caravan parks had drying rooms for our kit, much needed!
Think it'd be possible to string together a great road tour around there, it's also super easy to get the bikes up and down with the Caledonian Sleeper.

Baptism of fire, snow, rain and sunshine complete. The review is in, this thing bangs.
Four of us spent six days navigating around the Cairngorms, picking out some stupid routes that included knee-deep, fast-moving Ford crossings, miles of hike a bike, flooded trails, rain, snow, sunshine and even with 4 pannier bags on, it rides great.
Credit to Tailfin. Was unsure about their pannier bags but they are rock solid, got fully submerged a few times and worked perfectly up front.
