Scotland is becoming the progressive beacon and cycling is one of the manifestations of that. Bute has these stations too. A long way from Tasmania though.
Excellent to see my local area featured and so glad to hear it being described correctly as the North East and not "Highland". There also some purpose built great mountain bike trails at Glenlivet and Fochabers. And loads of forest trails and the old drover roads too.
I almost called it “Highland” and was swiftly corrected - although frankly I ought to have known better. Good to know about the bike trails - I’ll check them out next time I’m across.
@@alwaysanotheradventure Technically you were in the Highlands up by Grantown, and Nethybridge but doon in Moray it's North East 😉 But that's not important, I'm so glad you came up and enjoyed the trail and hope more people come as the area tends to be forgotten despite all its glorious scenery and wonderful different terrains.
Another excellent, informative video. Cycling, beautiful scenery, local history, what’s not to like. Walking/hiking really seems to have taken off on tv recently, Michael Portillo etc, so I’m very surprised the quality of the Always another adventure channel doesn’t get many thousands more views.
Great set of videos (as always!) Simon. The section after Grantown that being upgraded, is that between Cromdale and Cragganmore? Planning doing the ‘triangle’ early next year.
Hi David - glad you like them. The section which the Speyside Way website still lists as not being suitable for cycling is between Ballindalloch and Cromdale. To make that work, if I recall correctly, we had to come off a little early. It took a while to get 'official' estimate for completion of the upgrade work. The estimate is March 2022 but might slip.
Yes Sean, it's the 745. It's OK, not brilliant. Mainly used for running and swimming, rarely on the bike. Garmin's own worst enemy is its software which, every now and again, throws a wobble and needs to be set up again from scratch.
@@alwaysanotheradventure Hi Simon, yes I've experienced similar frustrations with the Edge 810 I cycled with for about 8 years or so. Don't know how I stuck with it so long really..., thanks, - like the look of your adventure here round the Moray Gravel, good stuff.
Yes! Was preparing for a long distance tri so was getting out for a run each evening. Also if I walk in my spds for long my feet hurt. Def the right call for me here
Oh boy!! I need to get to Scotland😮 What an overload of scenery!! Thanks, Simon. This was yet another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it.
That looks lovely Simon, and very nicely filmed. Good job.
Many thanks Patrick
Wow that little bike station is amazing more of those needed.
There's quite a few on the cycle paths here in Moray

I simply love the stunning views in your videos.
Having walked this route I have always wanted to cycle it also. Glad to hear the section north of Grantown has been upgraded to allow for bikes.

Thanks - it's a massive help when people who like the channel share the videos on YT, Insta and FB
Love the Spayside Way but I think it’s a must to do it from Newtonmore as so much to see.
Fantastic work, thanks. I'm sure it will inspire many locals and visitors alike.
Not sure how our paths haven't crossed, but I've pointed a few people towards your services when they've asked me about bike transportation!
Another magnificent route & video!
Great set of riding videos! Hope to get up there next year to try some of it out.
Another fantastic video. Can’t wait to watch the others 👍
They’re all live now George - should be linked from the end screens.
Great videos as always and the route itself looks very doable for beginners with fantastic surfaces to ride on.
You're right Alison, it is. The Moray Coastal Trail is a bit more challenging, but the Cycle Trail is very straight forward too, as is Dava Way
What a great route to ride.
Great video - hopefully get to try this one day.
One for next year I reckon 👍🏽
Fantastic video looks a great trail to ride and good weather. Any advice on good winter bib tights ones for below zero? Cheers
I'm a fan of everything Assos when it comes to pads - shorts and tights. Folk who live in really cold climes might have some more thermal ideas.

Hi Simon. Is that a Fenix watch you're wearing (or similar)? If so, how do you get on with it?
Yes Sean, it's the 745. It's OK, not brilliant. Mainly used for running and swimming, rarely on the bike. Garmin's own worst enemy is its software which, every now and again, throws a wobble and needs to be set up again from scratch.

Not sure how you managed this when the section between Ballindalloch and Grantown is not passable by bicycle -🤔
I’d venture to suggest you haven’t watched that bit of the video then Steve…😁
This route is called The Moray Way!!
It's different (slightly) 😁
I'm guessing you recovered the downed drone?
Sadly no. A few low res shots were cached on my phone which controls the drone. I bought another and returned to shoot scenics a few weeks later.
Let me the first person
Is Sean wearing trainers?
Yes! Was preparing for a long distance tri so was getting out for a run each evening. Also if I walk in my spds for long my feet hurt. Def the right call for me here
