Bikepacking Scotland | Tyndrum to Taynuilt via Glen Kinglass, May 2019

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- We left Hamish at Taynuilt and took the train back to Tyndrum. You'll need to book your bikes on the train, its free though! We found that the trains bike hooks aren't big enough to fit fatty wheels, take a sling with you for each bike and you can strap your bike to the hook. Thankfully the train attendant was very helpful. The distance of the route is around 33m / 54km, get ready for a great trip. It can be done in a day but why rush it! ;-)

Explore and Adventure will find you!
Not sure how I missed this video!!! Its stunning!! Beautiful shots, need to explore this glen myself :-)
Thanks Barry... It’s a little beauty, and actually not to far out the way. It does have that middle of the wilderness feel to it though. 😀🌲
Guys what a super chilled video. A stunning location for your camp by that stream too. I’m looking to get into bikepacking this summer after last years disappointment. Keep sharing these videos guys. ATB Andy
Thank you very much! All the best for when the time for freedom comes. 😊🙏🌻
Goddamn I love this vid. The perfect tonic for these lockdown times
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully we can get more done next year! 😊🙏
Great video, very minimalistic, gear loadout vid would be great. Keep them coming 😎
Thank you Michael, glad you enjoyed it. 😀🙏 We might look at doing a gear video at some point. 😊👍
We did Glen Kinglass earlier this year but then headed up the east side of Loch Etive, we camped on the lochside. Up via the lochside, boggy and a lot of brush to push through, up the road to the Kingshouse then back via the WHW to Victoria Bridge. A lot of pushing along the lochside, a fat bike would let you ride a bit more - needs more traffic!
Loads to explore around the area. All part of the adventure. Keep exploring! 😊🤘😂
Absolutely beautiful photography. Nicely edited, a lovely tranquil feel. No midges by the camp spot?
Thank you. No midges on this trip thankfully. 😊🙏
Brilliant video, fantastic mini adventure, take care. Passed you both a couple of years ago in Glen Tilt.
Thank you! 😊🙏
Would you not have been better to get off train at Bridge of Orchy? You could have avoided hill path from there to Inveroran by cycling round nice quiet road?
Hi Gordon, Could I’ve but where’s the fun in that! 😀👍
Very cool little video! Do you have the GPS of your route on Strava or Ride with GPS or Komoot? Please and thanks.
Hey John, Sorry we don’t but if you google bikepacking Glen Kinglass you may find something. Also read this, our blog. Has the route on it. Hope that helps. 😀👍

Good video. Nice trip. Thanks for sharing.
😊🙏
Cracking watch this looks epic bivi trip 👌 👍 😎
Thank you Andrew. 😊🙏
What a fantastic adventure! Do you have a map of your route available?
If you Google bikepacking Glen Kinglass there one or two around Thanks very much for watching. Take care D&L 😊🙏
Do you have a list of the bike, camping and camera kit you use?
Hey Mark, Not at the moment, probably should think about doing one! Will add it to the video when we get round to it.
Great video. I wish I could get my mrs to come with me. What mattress and tent do you use?
Thank you! :-) Exped sleep matt and MSR Access 2 tent.
well held on that right hander it doesn't take much to make the last few km's the painful ones .
Hehe... it was a wigglerrrr 😀😂🙏
The great advantage Scotland has over lots of other countries is ease of access to stunning places both time and distance. Less than 2 to 3 hrs for most of the population and you're in heaven, weather permitting.
Great video and looked like a smashing adventure- love the look of those bikes 👌👍

Scotland's Mountains thanks Murray 😀🙏
Awesome outback ...ah i miss the Scottish Highlands.....wish i came back there to do these wonderful trails bikepacking...Could you tell us a bit about your bikes and gear....thanks a lot :)
Thank you for watching. 😀🙏 We May do a video out our gear soon.
Hey.. thank you very much for watching! 😀🙏 We may do a kit video at some point.
Epic adventure and nice video guys! Well done you! 😎👍
Thank you‼️ 😄🙏
Fantastic video always love the scenery up North, looked a lovely place to camp 😀 😊
Thanks for watching Dave. That was a super chilled we outing and a great spot as you say! 😊🙏🏴
Splendide vidéo félicitations pour se partage Natural 👍@bientôt Actéon France
Looked a grand wee adventure, those fat bikes take care of pretty much everything, you make it look effortless. Nice spot by the river too. 👌🏼
Cheers
Robin
Walk With Wallace 👣 yeah they are pretty good. So long as you aren’t looking for speed. Thank for watching mate. 😀🙏
@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 I've seen a couple around the streets of Edinburgh, probably still faster than the Just Eat bikes. 😁
Walk With Wallace 👣 haha 😂
Cheers for this D&L. Another route to add to the hit list, looked magic. I've gone as far as loch Dochard but never biked thru so that's one to do for sure. Loved the gear, you seemed to pack minamilist size but plenty gear and luxury too! Atb A
Andrew Park Welcome, Yeah we try and keep it as light as possible but don’t go as far as total roughing it for the sake of a pound or two. 😀👍
Beautifully put together as always guys. The conditions were reasonable - fair 50-50. All the best. Mark
Wye Explorer Mark thanks for watching as always. 😀👍
To get a lot of followers fast, posting on Facebook is a good idea. Awesome video. 👍 Subscribed!
Aruch H thanks you can follow us on FB here also. We regularly post in FB groups. m.facebook.com/OTATScotland/ 😀👍
apologies if you answered this in the many comments already but what tent did you use as unless you had a secret support vehicle then it looked roomy but obviously packed v.small :)
Keith Greig hahah... The orange bag on the front of my bike is the MSR Access 2. Great tent! We always balance lightweight against comfort .. so it’s maybe not the most minimalist tent for Bikepacking, we’re comfy though..does us great! 😀👍
Thank you :)
So just picked a video at random. Enjoyed trying to find your locations on google maps as I've never heard of Windsor ( except where our queen lives) and Essex County ( except that bit of land to the east of London) and loved the sound track. It's a great way to see somebody else's back Yard.
Windsor? It’s a lovely route indeed glad you enjoyed it. 😊🙏
Super little film of your adventure.
Thanks so much Adrian... 😀👍
What a beautiful land you live in.
Scotland has been on my bucket list for a long time. And this is just the way I want to see it.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you... we are very lucky to have such awesomeness on our doorstep. Glad you enjoyed our little film. Don’t take to long to book your Scotland trip! 😀🙏
Beautiful country. Well done.
Thank you. 😀🙏
Do you guys use some sort of gps to map out your routes as I watched your other videos and it looks like you go off trail . So you you create routes for gps beforehand
LUCAS ... all we use is traditional map-reading. We do have OS Maps online that I use to plan a route. We don’t own a GPS . We use one of our mob phones if we need to check nav if we have to. 😀👍
Alright you two. Another fantastic video! I live in Nottingham, so its great to see all these Scottish adventures you vloggers put together. Thank you for sharing and all the best on your next adventure. Cheers Gary
gary kirkham thank you for messaging, very much appreciated. 😀🙏
Great stuff. Can't wait to get back up there myself! :D
Thanks for watching. 😊🙏 .. not long now hopefully. 🤞
Great video, it must take forever to get anywhere with all the great B roll you put in your videos lol, I noticed some of the b roll was done with the drone, I don't think I'd have the patience to keep going back for the camera. What fat bike do you ride? I see the green one is a kona. Many thanks👍
davo 1519 thanks for watching. Yeah it’s a little extra work getting the footage but normally the outcome is worth it. 😀🙏
5:25...great work with the drone.
Hi Lee, Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊🙏
Brilliant video beautiful part of the world definitely thinking of doing something like that myself
Jus outdoors it’s a nice route and not to technical. If you get the weather it will be great. Thank you for watching. 😀🙏
Really nice video. Camera work was ace - you had a couple of big 'camera retrieval' walks. I might reproduce your trip some time. Thanks for filming, Andy
Hey Andy, Thanks for watching. You’ll not be disappointed it’s a nice route, if the weathers kind lol 😂 😀🤞
Which is this blue helmet? Tnx
Sorry Im not sure the exact one but its a Giro helmet.. www.giro.com/c/giro-women-bike-helmet
Beautiful landscape and filming! I'll be there as soon as things get back to normal. It looks a lot like our highlands in Sweden. Thanks for the inspiration!
Pelle Lindblå Sweden and Norway are two places high on our list for adventures. Thank you for watching our wee films. 😀🙏
@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389
I have some films on youtube. Swedish voice only but I´m planning on english text. Search for Pelle Lindbla uteliv. (Playlist) I also do a lot of fatbiking on snow. I have a cottage at a place called Grovelsjon which is a hotspot for hikers and bikers both winter and summer. It´s just on the border of Norway which means higher mountains and wilder nature in the neigborhood.
Pelle Lindblå just pinged a wee subscribe and will take a look tonight. Thanks you! 😊🙏
Brilliant video, looks a cracking route on the bikes, thanks for that :-) Great save at the end as well Lisa, ooooft!!
Loved the video and your website. Is there a GPX of this route? Can't find it on the site.
Gabrie van Zanten thank you for watching. No we’ve not got a GPX file but if you google MTB Glen Kinglass you should find something. 😀👍
WOW...amazing! Best regards from Germany (Hamburg) aaaaaand subcribed ;-)
Marco Velofreund Hahaa awesome thank you very much for watching. 😀🙏
Thank you for a super video. It so makes me want to get a fat bike!
Paul they are pretty awesome it has to be said! Hahaha 😂😀👌
Nice one guys. Cracking wee adventure. 👍 That's luxury viewing in the tent like. Should've took the popcorn.😁
Kevin Russell hahaha.. cheers Kev... it’s handy for those longer nights when you’re all explored out! 😀👍
Another lovely wee video. Brings back memories of my own trip. Very different conditions though - I made the mistake of not carrying enough water and all the wee burns were frozen. The irony of being thirsty in Scotland ;-)
Colin Cheers 🍻😀🙏
Hey guys, very nice video. Looks amazing, nice wee spot you's camped at 5.24 was it part of the trail ?
Thanks
Hi .. sorry for the slow reply. Yeah pretty much on the route and you’ll not miss it. There’s a few other wee spots a little further on also, just incase the weathers bonkers and you want a “little” more shelter. Enjoy the trip when it come mate. D&L 😊🙏
At the end of the trail did you's go up via the a89?
Hi bud .. A89 ?
We did a little on the A85 but think theres another way but not sure.
Lovely video again, what tent did you use please?
Brian Taylor thank you. It’s an MSR Access 2. 😀
New subscriber here..im so inspired with your bike packing adventure..and i hope i could do it also someday...you might consider also of doing a bike packing here in Philippines
Thanks Osie.. thank you! 😀🙏 Sounds like a great adventure in the Philippines! 🇵🇭
Lovely video. Makes me want to go do it right now!
Chunky Hehee... glad you enjoyed it. 👌
This is amazing!! Love the filming and the drone work. Looks like an amazing ride!! Well done. Did I miss it or did you post the route?
Thanks John. We’ve not posted the route. We found it by a good glow search. Loads of options come up. Thank you again. 😊🙏

Ya dancer loved it 😍Great video as always One of my favourite places up there but I’ve never been that way before need to go .
I done a loop of the Cairngorms this weekend Beautiful place but very unforgiving weatherwise I can see how people get in trouble up there
Weathers been a little tough in the Cairngorms recently. Thank you. Glad you liked the film Chris. 😀🤘
What website/ app etc do you use to plan your routes?
Matrix no particular website just imagination, social media, maps etc etc.. you can check out our website if you wish www.otatscotland.co.uk 😀👍
What a sportive couple you two are, look forward to you next bike packing trip.
darrellpax haha thank you sir! 😂🤘
Brilliant. Just found your channel, Subscribed 👍 How does the drone work when you're cycling.
Hi Stuart, Thank you for watching. 😀🙏 . The drone has a follow mode which is pretty good. Thank you again for subscribing. 😀👍
Loved this. What a great video. Really enjoyed watching. Looked like a great route with some careful handling required on the bike towards the end ! 👍 Thanks
Mark Thanks very much for watching. Definitely worth doing the route. 😀👍
I love watching you guys having such a good time. You have inspired me to get a fat boy bike and to do a bit of exploring myself.
Thank you David. Glad you’re enjoying our wee adventures! 😊🙏
Looks epic guys. Planning my summer trip on my MTB.
Just love this. So inspiring. I have an electric fatbike, so tend to use B&Bs more than camping to recharge, but just bought myself a drone. Your drone footage really adds to the film and gives a real feel of the scale. Amazing stuff. Keep up the good work. :)
Thanks Graham, The drone defo helps with adding a different dimension. Thank you very much for watching. :-)
Great scenery and filming. I cannot but think of all the midges though. Midgemageddon.
Thank you Alex. No midges, as long as you have a little breeze! 😀👍
Where you ended that vid then all the horrid uphill parts begin 😂
Super hezká příroda super na fajny bike 🏔🚵♂️👍🌞❤️
Nice video, looking forward to getting out there myself
Thank you Richard. 😊👍
Another great vid, I've now added this route to my list of must do's, was the single track middle section all bikeable?
Thanks John..yeah its mostly all ridable. :-)
Would you mind to tell me how to find the bike trail in Scotland ?
Hey ... so sorry we missed this mess somehow! Google “Bikepacking Glen Kinglass” you find lots of trip info. 😊🙏
Great wee video.Loved the drone shot from the tent flying outwards.Well done guys.😎👍

Great video guys. I liked this one especially as you started / finished in Taynuilt, the village I grew up in! I recognised many of the scenes, either from walking the West Highland Way, or from running the Loch Etive road back to Taynuilt. What an adventure you had! Thanks for sharing.
Julian Baird Photography lovely little village! Thanks and glad you enjoyed it. 😀👍
