- This is a wee video of a gravel ride where we bikepacked down the Great Glen Way in May 2022. Our route was from Inveress to Fort Augustus via the North Shore of Loch Ness, before camping overnight then returning to Inverness via the South shore.

Nice video. Stunning scenes
Cheers N. It’s a beautiful route. Thanks for subscribing. 👍
Great vid, thanks for making, I know it must slow the ride down a bit, and thanks for the Strava link, on my list for next spring
Thanks @horriflying. You’ll enjoy it, it’s very scenic.
Looks amazing, well done guys
Thanks Steven, we had a good couple of days.
Another great video, and a really nice tribute to John. I had the pleasure of riding with him on a couple of CTC rides, pre-Covid. He was a real inspiration. Still fit and fast as he approached 80 years young. Incredible.
He sure was Johnston. John was a regular with us in Mallorca, a lovely wee guy.
Excellent video & a fitting tribute to your friend.
Thanks Struan, I’m pleased that you enjoyed it.
Great video as usual, well done on the 500 subscribers 👍 Looking forward to part 2 😊
Thanks Dave, I’m just getting started on Day Two.
On my bucket list. Well done.
Cheers Danny, hope your holiday went well.
Great video there. Sounds challenging but you were rewarded with great weather and some of the best views in Scotland ❤️
Thanks Janice, yes it was fairly lumpy but beautifully scenic and we were very lucky weather wise. I would definitely recommend this route. Pleased that you enjoyed the video and thanks for the feedback.
Superb Buddy and well done on 500 subscribers, looking forward to part 2....
Cheers buddy, when are you joining us for a pedal?
@@specializeddoug definitely, been meaning to do for some time...have you any forthcoming dates planned?
Nice video as usual Doug😃
Thanks Stuart, that's a beautiful route to cycle.
Excellent route with some outstanding views and footage Doug. Looked a bit of a challenge albeit rewarding with those lumpy climbs. Looking forward to your footage and commentary from day 2. Hopefully catch up soon. 👍
Cheers Craig. Day one was fantastic. Day two, more challenging. Hope to get out with you again soon.
Great vid again and you were so lucky with the weather. Top of the North side looks better than the Fort Augustus to Fort William Loch Lochy section.
Thanks MLS, hope you are well.
As well as one can be under the circumstances.
Great vid! Do you watch Dustin Klein? He says ..and the ride by the numbers!
Beautiful countryside, looked great fun.👌👌🏁
And the ride, by the numbers is my homage to Dustin, he’s the man, I love his stuff.
@@specializeddoug totally agree, love Dustin’s channel, it’s great isn’t it!
I’ve got some of his stickers somewhere! 🏁🏁
Great video. I am due to do this cycle with my 8 year old lad on the 3rd Sept for charity. We will be finishing up in Fort William. Planning on doing it over two days also. May I ask how long it took your group to get from Inverness to Fort Augustus?
Good luck with it Gary. It’s a great route. Here is my Strava link for that day. It shows 4hrs 47 mins for that day.

Lovely route! Do you have a gpx file of the route you took?
If you follow me on Strava you can pick up all the gpx files if you have a Premium membership. @DouglasGilliganRACC
I’m from Australia- Can you hire mountain e bikes and soft tails?
Hi Bruce. There are lots of bike hire shops in Scotland that hire out all types of bikes. Where is it you are thinking of coming to?
@@specializeddoug I’m an Australian and we are planning to catch a ferry from Belfast over to Scotland. My first trip to Scotland. I thought the bike trip looks fantastic
@@Brucemcleod2345 there are quite a few bike hire shops in Inverness which hire out e-bikes.
@@specializeddoug Great. Maybe we’ll start at the Inverness side. Summer would be best time I assume
@@Brucemcleod2345 possibly not. You may have heard of the infamous Scottish midge. Now those are some creatures that you really would be better off not acquainting yourselves with. 😀Their season can be from April to September.
Any recommendations on bike set up if doing 360 in a day. HT MTB or Gravel and tyre type/size.
Day One my gravel bike was fine but I felt under biked on it on the Southern shore on day two Kevin. I would definitely go MTB. My 650B wheels with 50mm tyres coped fine with everything but a MTB would be more comfortable. Good luck doing it in a day, that would be a real challenge.
I did it on my Fargo with 2.2 tyres seemed perfect, especially on the south shore as Dougie said. With panniers 😁
Is there a gpx or Strava link of the route?
If you follow me on Strava Barry, Douglas Gilligan RACC you’ll be able to pick up all of the gpx files there.
