Hi guys, love the content you have created. I'm a recent first time fatbike owner and live just outside of Edinburgh. We need more people creating content like this! I've watched your videos for several years now and you have opened my eyes to a lot of beautiful places. If you two were to create a book/map of all the fatbike or bike compatible trails you have done I'd for sure buy a copy. Finding information on these trails isn't the easiest thing in the world especially when planning to tackle them on a bike.

Hi guys. I remember about 10 years ago doing an 18 mile walk from Loch Morlich & down Glen Einich to the loch & then back to Inverdruie via Loch an Eilean. I thought that Loch Einich's setting felt as remote as anywhere I've been. Those awkward burn crossings looked much worse for you than my summer excursion. Brilliant photography as usual & I cast my vote for you on those awards you mentioned. Good luck !

@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 Жыл бұрын

Hiya Michael, that sounds like a long one! The whole route is lovely but not all at once though. Feet are sort just reading about it! 😂🙏 Thank you so much for your vote. It’s nice to be on the shortlist but the other channels are all good and have huge followings. Doubt we’ll come out on top but we’ll stay true to our style. 😊🙏

Enjoyed your bike adventure. We cycled that route at end of August this summer, then left bikes where you camped and took the good path up onto Braeriach where had a wild camp close to the summit. Then returned next morning to cycle back out. It's a stunning and remote glen. ATB Derek

@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 Жыл бұрын

Hi Derek, it’s a place that just has that special remote feeling despite it being not a million miles from Aviemore. Ideal for getting away from it all on a short weekend trip. Like the sound of what you done. 😊👍
