Bike packing trip to Blair Atholl from Glen Feshie.

It is fair to say that I left the packing of this trip to the last minute I finished just 6 mins before Janet arrived to pick me up.

Other preparations were a bit last minute too. I tried the tent out the day before and also discovered tha my small stove was in fact a pan set. Luckily kenny lent me his and it has been brilliant. I decided to go for real food not dehydrated which I think was a good choice. Although I am a bit amazed at how much I have eaten.

The weather has been kind to us. Only a few spots of rain and plenty of sun. Lots of river crossings places to swim and a long bit of single track. We med Duggie from landward on the trail with a film crew. We were filmed and interviewed by them. Mental. We set of at 10.45 and arrived at our camp at about 6pm. Lovely sunset, we all cooked together near an old bothy. Eventually cold and midges drove us to our tents. I am all snuggly now. So it will be an early night. And all down hill tomorrow.
