@AllenBoardman it was very cool. I always enjoy those moments and am keen to try and improve my knowledge of wildlife that we see on adventures. I'm not great with birds, but I think it's a Kite. Nice to see. It's a curious thing in the psyche of the bikepacker that we usually like to share our adventures with a trail mascot/spirit animal! Apologies to Sheepy for calling him a monkey!

Amazing scenery! I’m also planning my bikepacking trip in couple of weeks. What type of rain jacket you guys were using? I’m having very hard time looking for one thats both waterproof enough for full day of riding and breathable.
@AllenBoardman Ай бұрын
Scotland is always beautiful! I’m happy you liked it. I use an Endure GORE-TEX Jaxket now - it’s really good, but as it’s Gore, needs reproofing a lot. I think Danny (Sonder) is wearing a Paramo jacket, and Oli will be wearing something posh - but I can’t remember exactly the brand. I can find out for you though!! I can’t say it’s 109% breathable and waterproof, it does one or the other at one time really well - but it is good for creating an eco system where it’s wet, but warm 😊 Where are you heading??
