[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hiya Tim! Robert and I are good friends!😊 The wrong turn truly made it more special.

I'm such a fan of you both, you're videos are great and I think it's just fantastic that you are both so into what you do. I'm a summit camper and there is no way I could get my missus to put on a pair of boots never mind sleep in a tent on the top of a mountain. The content is always good and you definitely inspire through your adventures, so keep doing what you're doing as we the audience love to watch you. Take care guys, you make a great team.

[@greencroft]

Just tripped across this film. It's a fantastic area with so much wild ground to explore. You may be pleased to know that you can now link through by fireroad from Glen Feshie to Glen Tromie - you branch right at the top of the climb out of Glen Feshie then have a huge descent down to a new bridge at the bottom and follow the track which now links with the Tromie road that you eventually joined. I did the route in summer 2022 before the new road was built and ended up in that same slog across rough country as you then this summer, I found a new forest road has been constructed. I believe it was used for a big gravel biking event earlier in the summer. I would thoroughly recommend trying to head up the track on the east side of the Feshie from Carnachuin round the top of the coires and across to Sgor Gaoith with views down to Glen Einich and across to Braeriach and beyond, then from SG, head back down the other track back into Glen Feshie. For a good weather day only though!

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hey.. thank you for this. I’m away to get my map out. 😁👍🙏

[@chrisappleby1966]

How are you crossing the river at Carnachuin? The old bridge was washed out a few years ago and on my last visit was a very dodgy proposition!

[@greencroft]

@@chrisappleby1966 either the ford below Carnachuin. If river is higher then you can use the footbridge lower down the river and come through the forest section. Does involve crossing the tributary that comes down from the coires. Be careful on this bit as the original path down has long since collapsed into the river leaving a sheer drop for the unwary.

[@pegleg1968]

Superb Another great video. ♥♠

What a wonderful film, cheers!

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you Alan. 😊🙏

[@srslovesplants6039]

I couldn’t even imagine how much you guys walk back and forth to pick up your camera. Your videos are so great. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and your effort in making the videos. Happy adventuring

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Sara, Thank you very much for watching, and super to hear you’re enjoying our little adventures. 😀🙏 We’re actually getting quite good at spotting a shot, doing it, and getting on.. We’re try not to let filming become the priority. Obviously enjoying the time outside is the priority. 😊👍

[@TwistyTrails]

Fantastic video - really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Welcome Twisty. Thanks for watching. 😊👍

[@pb8484]

Enjoyed riding along great video 🚴

[@PaganAbroad]

Awesome guys - those are some big ass tires!

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Cheers Hooch. 😊👍

[@michaelatkinson8291]

I've been lucky enough to walk through both glens on long distance walks. Tromie en route from Blair Atholl to Kingussie via The Minigaig & Glen Feshie after Glen Tilt & Glen Geldie again to Kingussie. Both are beautiful with a feeling of remoteness in their upper reaches. Great video chaps, good to know even the best of us can take a wrong turn 😆

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Michael, We’ll be back to visit the areas we didn’t get to on this trip! The wrong turn didn’t spoil anything in the end! 😊🙌🙏👌

[@Macoutdoors361]

Great video as always :)

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thanks for watching Mac. 😃🙌

[@domquigley7890]

The filming, like the choice of music, was very subtle and gentle, nice one 👍

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you Dom. 😃👌🫡

[@williammcdonald4922]

Another great video. thank-you for all the effort that you expend setting up all those water crossing shots. I recently read "The Living Mountain" by Nan Shepherd, so seeing the Cairngorms from the trail perspective was a treat. Thank-you from Massachusetts, US.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi William, You are welcome and thank you for watching. We enjoy both the adventure and the filming side of it. All the best D&L 😊👌

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Andrew, Thank you! 😊🙏 ..haha we have our ups and downs but are trying to make the most of it when we can. 😊🙌

[@robjopling1573]

Great video. It would be good to see a trace of the route that you took. Tried to work out out on the map. A few key grid refs would suffice. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Rob, thank you! Will put something together when we get a little time.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

I’ll put the pitch and the wrong turn on a KZbin post.

[@bigjr9004]

Nice wee adventure guys, thanks for taking the time to put all this together. Excellent quality as usual. Just a wee note for Lisa - at the bottom of your downstroke on the bike, your knees look as though they are locked - an injury situation that could prevent you brining us more videos! Should be approx 120 degrees between your upper calf and lower hamstring at the bottom of your stroke for a more relaxed ride. If your saddle can be dropped another 2cm/3cm that should do the trick. Keep up the good work guys.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi JR, excellent advice and very much appreciated by both of us. Thanks you! All the best. 😊🤙

[@discoverydave8541]

Aye, what a adventure absolutely brilliant....who said that blokes cant multitask 😁 Great drone footage while cycling Dave.... That's some clicks you covered.... Thank you . 👍🏔

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hey Dave, cheers buddy! I certainly didn’t multitask when I took the wrong turn! Poor map-reading! Hahah 😂😂👌

[@charliemccartney7055]

Hi D&L, Well done, what a superb movie capturing an area that's perfect for the bikes. Occasionally, its sometimes good to turn in the opposite direction to the rest.... nice one. Cheers, Charlie.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Charlie, Thank you mate! Yeah it didn’t feel like it at the time but we really enjoyed it in the end! 😃👍

[@grahambanks1387]

Another great adventure. Thanks for all the work you put in to these videos and for sharing them with us 👍

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Graham, .. and thank you for following our wee adventures! 😊🙏

[@kevinw1129]

Nice trip. I've been looking at linking Glens Tilt, Geldie and Feshie but getting across from Tilt to Feshie involves a lot of boggy single track! Need to get a fat bike - you guys fly over all the rough stuff.😉

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thanks Kevin. We struggled on one big section of this “improvised 🤣” route, even with the space hopper tyres! 😃👌

[@kevinw1129]

@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 Yes it did look rough. Best not to go off-roading with your MTB!🤣

[@dougieranger]

Proper adventures there. 👍🏼

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hey Dougie, This was a brilliant adventure.. one mistake made it even better! 😊👍

[@dougieranger]

@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 It was meant to be. 👍🏼

[@hikebikescotland9121]

Great to see another couple out fat packing!!! - Great video as always 👌

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

😃🙌👏

[@supertouring22]

Full marks for using the fat bikes. I used to have a Fat Caad and now have a Trek Farley and I love them, but for distance I use my Ribble Gravel SL as it is half the weight and feels like riding thin air after the fatbike.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Yeah it’s all about slow adventuring for us. Anything faster and I’d probably newly kill myself, again!! Lol 😂 Thanks for watching. 🙏🙂

[@Kev_Russ]

Another beautifully shot video guys. Cracking wee adventure. Pity about the wrong turn, but turned out a nice wee pitch. I remember struggling up that track walking when me and Robin did the Glen Feshie Corbett. Looked hard work pushing the bikes up. 😁

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thanks Kev. Yeah was quite hard work in the heat. Work the effort though. 😀👌⛺️🚲

[@Steve72Outdoors]

Cracking video Lisa and Dave Just love the Cairngorms. As you know we were there a few we ago, stunning place. 😍 Thanks for all the effort you put into these inspirational vlogs . All the best 🏔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚲👌

Hiya Steve, thank you! Yeah looks like younger as much fun as we did. (When we found a track! Lol) 😂🙏🙌

Do you guys have a Komoot account? I’d love to see your routes. Thanks for the filming your fantastic adventures 👌🏽

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hey, No we don’t sorry. Thank you for following our little trips. 🙂🙏

[@ColinCadden]

LOL - I was wastching it thinking "I know that bit", "I know that bit", "I know what's coming", then "WTAF - where the hell are they???" 🙂

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hahaha 🤣😂🤣😂… apart from some serious hike a bike.. it was still awesome! 😃🙌

[@GabrievanZanten]

Lovely video. We will be in Aviemore next week. Would you happen to have a GPX of this route?

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you Gabrie. I’m sorry we don’t have a GPX for this but Google Glen Tromie I’m sure there’s one available. Have a great time in Aviemore. 😁👍🫡

[@juliefahy]

Beautiful adventure! I'm not sure I would have survived that hill, though. 😅 I cycle every day to work, yet I much prefer walking up mountains than cycling ^^

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Haha don’t be mislead.. we pushed up most of it! Tough going but worth the effort! 😊😂🤷‍♂️🙏

[@gary_248]

That “wrong” can often be the right turn 😉

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

You are not wrong! 😊🙏

[@drewnicol2455]

Hi guys great video as always, can I ask you where you turned wrong way is there an actual track or just grass. Can I also ask did you start at Glen Feshie and finish at Glen tromsie ?? Keep the video,s coming there brill and a big help to beginners like myself.😊

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Drew, thank you. We started and finished around here: NN 77944 99654 We turned right instead of left around here: NN 81220 84774 It was a track that does show on the map. It wasn’t where we meant to go though. A good adventure all the same, and couple of learning points. 😊👍

[@drewnicol2455]

@ thank you , didn’t realise that some parts were not covered with way markers and looking at OS land ranger map on area it does not show any linking path between the two glens so will have watch out for this using data you have given me. Thanks for your help guys

[@Professionalmoochers]

Is that a lighter or a piezo you used to ignite your stove?

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

It’s a Piezo.

[@russellpaton2303]

what make is Mrs O’s rear bags n rack ….. asking for a friend (the wife)

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hey Russell, That panniers are www.revelatedesigns.com/ and the rack is.. Topeak it’s not the lightest though. The only one we could find for Lisa’s bike.. shop around. 😊🤙

[@janettetaylor8760]

Isn't it wise to follow stream downward that ward u won't get lost???

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

We took the wrong turn way before getting to the stream. We never actually got lost… just took one wrong turn that put us in a wee world of pain. Going back to fix the wrong turn would have been horrible 😂😁👍

[@janettetaylor8760]

lol

[@underdgk9]

A glorious mishap! Sometimes it's good to be a bit misguided.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Turned out to be exactly that Doug. 😀🙏🌻
