A++++. A beautifully shot and edited video. Great atmospheric music as well. The only drawback to doing this ride I can see is the midge. I had to retreat from Skye in 2014 as they were so bad. I was bitten in places I didn't even know I had through 5 layers of cycle clothing and a Goretex cycling jacket. It was the stuff of nightmares. I vowed never again.

Absolutely stunning. It must be a real pleasure for you both to love cycling and exploring, not many couples have the same passion for such adventures. The footage is amazing, great editing skills, Some people don't realise the time it takes to film while riding and edit once back to base. One question I have is how do you decide what to film and what not when you're surrounded by such beautiful scenery?

Did the race a few times. I prefer the route through the town but the road climb after is a real killer. Both your river crossings can be ridden, although you have to go downstream a little bit from where you camped. They were very low!
