Why Scotland ?
After we had tried out the Giant Explore E-Bikes mountain bike version from a rental outfit in the german alps for a weekend in 2017 and bought our own special versions from Mario Hausmann later in 2017 and beginning of 2018 we needed a destination that was:
- hilly
- not too hot
- reachable by train to transport the bikes
- having a local language we spoke
- a place we hadn't been to yet
Scotland was in the shortlist together with czechoslovakia and estonia. When checking out the list of world-wide whisky-distilleries Scotland got the pole position :-)
We spent quite a bit of time to figure out a decent itineray and came up with this plan of places where to stay:
- Leuven
- Ardrossan
- Port Charlotte/Islay
- Craighouse/Jura
- Kilchrenan
- Fort William
- Fort Augustus
- Nairn
- Carrbridge
- Ballater
- Kirkmichael
- Dundee
- Glenrothes
- Edinburgh
The focus of our plan was the Isle of Jura and specifically Corryvreckan.
