Winter Bikepacking Alone in the Cairngorms Scotland | The Deeside Way | NCN 195

[@Cycling366]

Happy New Year! Thank you everyone for helping me reach my goal of 1000 subscribers. I'm looking forward to seeing how this channel grows by the end of 2022! All the best everyone and happy bikepacking!

Without a doubt some of the highest production values of any bikepacking videos I've seen (and I've seen a lot!). Cristal clear images, great colour, sharp editing and wonderful composition. The route and kit info at the end also takes it to another level. Thanks for all your hard work and effort. It's paid off! Consider me subbed.

[@Cycling366]

Thank you so much Gerry! Appreciate your kind words and thank you for subscribing! All the best :)

I walked from Glen Doll to The Spittal of Glen Muick many year ago. Kudos for taking the bike over there!

Awesome video dude ! Full respect to the amount of effort you have clearly put into this film 👍👍

[@Cycling366]

Cheers Colin! Thanks for watching :)

[@kevlow2295]

The Capel Mounth is a classic mountain biking descent, so well done for pushing a loaded bike up it.👍

[@Cycling366]

Cheers! Not sure I’d have the balls to go down that 😂

[@kynasf]

Stunning film 👏 I really like the format you have of dreamy film first, followed by all the ride details, etc.

[@Cycling366]

You're lucky to live so close to such beautiful landscape. Thanks for sharing

[@Cycling366]

It’s a fair distance away from me really but still lucky to live in such a beautiful country! Cheers! :)

[@christopherhood9241]

Great film. And good weather too.

[@Cycling366]

Thanks very much! Yes weather was very kind to me again!

[@alanhanley9515]

Quality photography as always. Hugely impressed as ever by your efforts and attitude.

[@Cycling366]

Thanks again Alan! Appreciate your support! Got to take the days as they come! Cheers!

[@lucybeal977]

Beautiful scenery again. Excellent filming 👍🏻

[@Cycling366]

Thank you :D

[@phantomracer1050]

Stunning film as always! Looks like you got really lucky with the weather.

[@Cycling366]

Thanks very much! Yes I was amazed at how lucky I was with it. Usually knee deep in snow 😂

[@alanalan3290]

Superb video as usual and looks a fantastic route, in the summer 😀

[@Cycling366]

Thanks very much Alan! Yes I’m sure it’s a little less temperamental in the summer too! 😂

[@Bikepacking]

Very well filmed and edited good job… I hate to bike and hike those mountains with panniers .that looks tough

[@Cycling366]

Thanks very much! Yes it took it out of me for sure... Cheers!

[@richardhoyle8726]

Happy new year

[@Cycling366]

Same to you Richard! Thanks!

[@oldmanonabike2740]

Beautiful scenery! love to hear/read about your gear as well. What mountainbike do you use and what is your experience with it loaded? Keep riding! Ferdinand.

[@Cycling366]

Thanks Ferdinand. All of my gear is listed on my website www.cycling366.com. My mountain bike is a Charge Cooker, which they don’t make anymore unfortunately! I’ve got better at balancing the bike so it’s not difficult to handle at all when it’s loaded. Cheers!

[@bgate1984]

3:20 where did you stay? Looks decent …

[@Cycling366]

I stayed at the Glen Clova Hotel 👍

[@bgate1984]

@@Cycling366 awesome cheers

[@jcgadventures1102]

Superb video, know this area well from wild camping/bikepacking up there this summer although I've just recovered from all the bites 🤣🦟 Stunning route. Where's the nearest station to catch the sleeper train from Yorkshire Tom? 👍

[@Cycling366]

Thanks Ian! Yes that’s one positive about the winter that’s for sure! No midges! I caught the train from London. I work in London a few days a week so it made sense to go straight from there! Cheers!

[@capturemylife]

Crewe?

[@Cycling366]

Yes probably come to think of it. Either that or Preston!

[@jcgadventures1102]

Yes, looks like Preston closest for Yorkshire 👍

[@br5380]

Nothing wrong with B&B’s, especially when there’s 16 hours of darkness and saves on the gear needed.

[@Cycling366]

Absolutely! Sometimes the bikepacking purists refuse to accept B and Bs as an option! I’m with you!

[@br5380]

I just looked for Stuarn Hall and they’ve now closed, permanently…

[@Cycling366]

I’m sure they’ve not! I was only there last week. They may have closed for the season. 👍

[@Bikepacking]

Why so much gear if your where planning to stay in hotel ..could have gone ultra light setup

[@Cycling366]

Spare clothes and emergency stuff just in case. Plus camera gear and swimming gear 😉 😂
