Adventure Cycling // Alastair Humphreys // From Round the World to Mountain Bike in Scotland


[Authors notes: An imaginary journey round Scotland, linking together wild bothies and landscapes.
Apart from one day, when I was joined by a friend, I made this trip by myself, filming it all myself.
I used a car to do the grunt work between some of the locations as they are spread all over Scotland.
Please don't ask me for the locations of these bothies! Equipment: Canon 5D Mkii, ION camera, DJI Phantom Quadcopter (carried in a big 90litre backpack as I rode) end authors notes]

Alastair Humphreys is an English adventurer, author and motivational speaker. His first big adventure was completing a four-year bicycle journey around the world.[1] He was a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year in 2012.

Danny Macaskill // The Ridge // Isle of Skye - Scotland // Mountain Bike Short Films // MTB Freedom // Trials Cyclist // Epic Rides

Danny Macaskill's new mountain bike film The Ridge // filmed on location // Isle of Skye - Scotland
[Authors notes] #TheRidge is the brand new film from Danny Macaskill… For the first time in one of his films Danny climbs aboard a mountain bike and returns to his native home of the Isle of Skye in Scotland to take on a death-defying ride along the notorious Cuillin Ridgeline.

Isle of Skye (/skaɪ/; Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach or Eilean a' Cheò) is the largest and most northerly large island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland.[Note 1] The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous center dominated by the Cuillins, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country.

The Black Cuillin, which are mainly composed of basalt and gabbro, include twelve Munros and provide some of the most dramatic and challenging mountain terrain in Scotland.
