Bikepacking a Scottish Winter Wonderland! - Christmas Special

Описание: Snow is falling !!! We head out into the snow to get our first sub-zero wildcamp of the season. This adventure has the full festive package! We arrived just in the nick of time to see the Christmas lights being switched on in the Scottish, Highland Perthshire town, Aberfeldy. That night it was a freezing -6.8C wildcamp at a stunning loch, where we discovered we'd forgotten to bring something vital!

The next morning the adventure continued after a wee warm up in the Cow & Parrot coffee shop, and some genius thinking to resolve our problem! We set off for our second winter night a bit further into the hills. The route didn't go exactly to plan and we had some challenges getting to our destination with obstacles on the route, icy streams, and distracted by possibly the most stunning mountain loch sunset ever! We wild-camped by a completely frozen loch, this time in a wilder more rugged landscape. Icy tracks on the way home test our ice tyres and nerve!

Although shorter this trip still had all the ingredients of a great Christmas micro adventure! #cyclingvlog #mtbadventure #bikepacking

Prepare to be captivated by the beauty of Highland Perthshire in winter conditions, every tree and blade of grass encrusted in snow and ice which made this trip very special!

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
