Description

We stopped at Loch Morlich Youth Hostel at the start of our tour. This was a mistake. We should have stopped at Aviemore because we started our journey on a route that was not what you would call a cyclist’s route, not even for rough stuffers. We set off bright and early but, unfortunately, the weather was far from bright and we had to cape up from the start. The rain was torrential but the capes didn’t last long before we reverted to racing capes because along came the 40 mph winds to go with the rain.
