The Great Divide cycle route (Friday, March 13, 2020 - 22:15)
Part of the Great Divide cycle route, from Banff to Whitefish Montana, July 2018. All scanned maps are the property of Adventure Cycling Association, who I offer thanks for allowing me to use. We...
Ardnamurchan to Aberdeen (Tuesday, August 20, 2019 - 23:21)
‘Itchy peddles’ and inspired by a friend on a similar trip from Oban last year. This entire route might be a new one, but all sections have been travelled by bicycle before. I’d be...
Thirty years ago (Sunday, April 21, 2019 - 17:55)
April 23rd, 1989, when Scottish winters had an element of certainty about them. It’s good to look back… The post Thirty years ago appeared first on Alan Kimber Mountaineering.
Cape Wrath return (Wednesday, September 12, 2018 - 22:54)
Getting home from Durness might be the trickiest part of this wonderful trip. Try these links before you travel. Fortunately, I imposed on a good friend to take my bicycle back to Fort William,...

Clyde to Cape Wrath – day 8 (Sunday, September 9, 2018 - 23:05)
This day evolved into good distance and some speed. Plenty of paved surface and a wind astern was welcome. Leaving the Oykel Bridge Hotel, a short seven mile downhill section on the A837 leads to...
Clyde to Cape Wrath – day 7 (Friday, September 7, 2018 - 23:00)
 Another day of mixed, showery weather to start  with, which gently improved and by the time I arrived in the beautiful Glen Alladale Estate the sun was shining. The large groups of...
Clyde to Cape Wrath – day 6 (Friday, September 7, 2018 - 15:49)
After a good night’s rest, day six produced some Dreich weather, defined as: …”Wet, dull, gloomy, dismal, dreary or any combination of these. Scottish weather at its...
