Haa yes they can be a real nuisance!

It's a great island of the many there are!

Thank you so much! Seals really are amazing animals. Do you get them in new Zealand at all? Scotland is very beautiful but new Zealand looks amazing too, a place we'd love to explore.

Ah wow! Must be nice to go each year. Do you have some favourite spots? 🚲

I agree!

Hey there, thanks for watching! Ha, can't take life too seriously. Topfaffers sounds right up our street too. We used to cycle pretty hard and fast but I think we've realised that, at heart, we love nature and travelling, and using the bikes to explore them. Too fast and we find you miss out a whole lot. Nice to find your channel too. Any islands you would particularly recommend exploring?

@@joshandsarahride there's actually a 100mile road loop that starts from Arran called the five ferries tour, that does a few islands and bit of the main land. We did that then inspired, tried to make a MTB version, we went from ardrossan north to Skelmorlie, Via Knock hill, then crossed Bute, north to colintrave, took off road route to poravadie, then ferry to tarbert, then followed Kintyre way, (rough in places) south, nipped on to Gigha, (North twin beaches are a must) then continued on Kintyre way south to Campbeltown. There's a summer ferry back to ardrossan a couple of days a week. Though try to avoid arriving in Campbeltown on a Sunday as there is only the supermarket open. I think we did it in four days but would probably schedule 5 if doing it again as we did a 100k+ day 1. It's on the channel under Bikepacking the west coast. There's a couple of pushy bits but other than that it's a great route. DM us on insta @terra_venture if you want any more info.

@@TerraVenture amazing, thanks! Ha, yep, trying to avoid 100 km days if possible now 😅 will say hello on Insta. We've also been looking at the Wild About Argyll trail. Have you done much of this?

@@joshandsarahride not so much! We are based in central Scotland and have the luxury of being able to head north to the bigger hills pretty easily, but it's probably an area well explore at some point 👌

Next Wednesday 😀

It's such a good combo, right! Ha, yes, the whiskey is a work in progres... If we could just find an island with whiskey AND gin distilleries then we could even it out 😅

Great news 👏

It was an epic trip! 🚲 even with the ticks 😅

Couldn't have got better conditions really. Such a nice temperature to cycle round in and cool enough in the evening to recharge your batteries rather than sweat it out in a tent!

I bet you did

Thanks Luke! Really loved exploring the island.

Such a beautiful island!

Some really great hiking in quite a condensed area. Lots to go back for too!

Ha! We're just happy sharing our adventures :)

😅 we are plant based mostly yes 🌱

Yes, we were just trying the speedy way as camping. Have had them warm and definitely tastier as you say😋
