- Watch as we set out on an attempt to find our first winter weather of the 24/25 season. It was a successful outing and a great way to start 2025. We begun at Old Bridge of Tilt and got a reasonable distance up Glen Tilt before setting up camp.

Looks like a great start to 2025! Bikepacking up Glen Tilt to find some winter weather sounds like a perfect adventure. Setting up camp after a good ride must’ve been the perfect way to end the day. Thanks for sharing the journey and the stunning footage. It looks amazing!
Thanks Simon!! It was a great start to the year.. hoping to get back out soon ATB Tom
Looked a nice trip and a great place to go and explore.
Thanks Ray it was a great trip - hope you are managing to get out as well but our YT feed is suffering from a lack of RSOutdoors notifications!! 😁 - ATB Tom
Great video
Thanks Stig - much appreciated, ATB Tom
Nice Tour, Keep doing the best work. When will the next video come?
Not sure!! No available windows on the horizon at the moment 😕 maybe end of Feb but can't promise anything unfortunately!
A very enjoyable video. I hope your channel grows. All the best.
Thanks Caz - Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully not too long before we're back out again - ATB Tom
Lovely wee trip guys!! The winter has been somewhat elusive this year although the last week was quite nice and some snowy vistas out there!
You could do some kind of a trip review for your cosy fire every time Tom!! Looked cosy 😎. Paul
Yeah missing out on all the current weather which would be ideal.. typical! - I might do a video series where I sit in my cosy chair pontificating about all the adventures one might do if I could peel myself away from the cosy living room 😂 - ATB Tom
13:02, pretty sure this is where our Alien friends come to learn how to drive, far away from civilization! Also the drone footage is really welcomed, helps so much with this kind of content. I still think 'searching for winter' in Scotland is an oxymoron! And over here I have the opposite problem, my cameras overheat! I've had to order a fan for one of my cameras 😄
Thats a funny concept.. overheating cameras 🤣 - my camera battery got to 66% and was like thats enough and shutdown... wouldn't charge either... 3 hours in the sleeping bag and normal service resumed. They're fickle things!! - ATB Bro ❤
Great video, my husband and I also love Glen Tilt.
Thanks again Jennifer - Its a fantastic Glen no doubt, one of the very best - ATB Tom
Great adventure out. Just subscribed. Need to plan a trip up from south Scotland now i have seen your video. Love the kettle.
Thanks James for the kind words... We're southern Scotland as well and its a bit of a pain to get up to the Cairngorms at times but never not worth doing it. For the formal channel introduction of 'the kettle' you should watch the previous 'Back to Basics' video.. definitely the highlight of the trip 🤣 - ATB Tom
I will check that out. I assume you may be a Galloway Forest regular?
Yeah we've spent a fair bit of time down there I do love it but the plantation forest makes much of it pretty much off limits except for the main double tracks of course. Got a few videos of down that way but the wife isn't as keen on pushing bikes through bogs as I am 🤷♂️ 🤣 still I'll always have a soft spot for Galloway, ATB Tom
Hope do be there next year!! In Quebec for now!! Enjoyed the video :)
Quebec should be colder than here I think!!! 🥶 Hope you enjoy your trip across when it happens!! ATB Tom
Loved that. Some top scenery, great camping spot, and commentary heavy with dourness! Different to see cyclists with a beefy tent too. Cheers. Hope you are getting some in now.
Thanks Dave! Dour 🤣🤣 fair comment!! We love our tent but it's no lightweight fancy thing but then neither are our bikes or indeed my midsection 😳 better to arrive in relative comfort and sleep confident that you'll survive the night I recon than saving a few kgs here and there.. ATB Tom
@hikebikescotland9121 🥶 Have a great weekend!
One of our (My wife and I) favourite bike rides from Blair-Athol. Although so far only summer rides from Blair Athol caravan and camping site. Nice to see it in winter conditions.
Wonderful place in any conditions as you know, we'll be back to Glen Tilt for sure. ATB Tom
Well done for getting out on the 1st. I was nightshift on the 1st and 2nd so I had an excuse. Glen Tilt is just lovely isn’t it?
Shame you had to work.. this week has been lovely, sunny and cold which would be great to be out in but alas that pesky work thing has got in the way.. ATB and hope you and your family had a good festive period - Tom
Aye, Man may sell time, but nae buy it. The daylight is scarce in the highland winter.
Wise words - I like that!! - ATB Tom
Your video was truly beautiful and inspiring. As a fellow creator, I appreciate the effort you put into it. Sub and 👍109
Thanks for your kind words - much appreciated ATB Tom
Great stuff. Really enjoyed that. Needing to head up to Glen Tilt and do some exploring :)
Cheers Brian - don't miss out!! get yourself up Glen Tilt in the near future fella! - ATB Tom
