  • Hi all!
    On the build up to the 2023 Dales Divide, I headed out to Dumfries & Galloway with a 200km route in mind. I had a spare three days and wanted to stay at a couple of bothies. Did I get one to myself, or share it with a load of other like-minded folks? You will have to watch it and find out!

    I know that bog so well. We are getting a track put through soon - floating on wool! It will link together 150km of tracks across D&G and into Ayrshire. We have all the permissions ready - so watch this space.

      I said I’d never ride this but again, but now I’ll be intrigued to see the developments.

    Our local stomping grounds!! - great video as always Allen, I did watch with interest as I knew from where you came and heading to Tunskeen was going to involve that crossing of no-mans land... I've done it a few times and tried different ways but they are all a nightmare!! - great effort and we will are looking forward to your next adventure!

      😂 it just ads to the adventure eh?! So pleased you liked it. It’s a tough one to get to, but even more rewarding when it just comes out of nowhere! Thanks for watching :)

    The RUclips algorithm waited until today to recommend you channel to me? That proves the algorithm sucks. Loved this video! Greetings from Austria mate!

    Brilliant adventure! It's nothing better than to find a bothy after hard cycle🙂Thanks for making this film. Brought back memories too! Had some business to do in Newton Stewart last winter and had an opportunity to borrow an old mountain bike in there. Did bike/hike to another bothy called White Laggan. Will never forget that trip.. Love Dumfries and Galloway.

    • @AllenBoardman
      @AllenBoardman  Год назад +1

      Thanks so much. Really happy you enjoyed it. I always remember the faint sight of a building in the dark, hoping it was the bothy - I couldn’t have been happier!
      Glad you got on the bike to White Laggan, such a wonderful place up there. Im certain I’ll be back.
      Thanks again!

    Great video Allen, some good riding in that area I believe... I haven't ridden any myself... although I've climbed a few of the hills. A mate lives on the Mull of Galloway and has ridden a bit round there.
    Thanks for sharing, cheers Alistair 👍

      Hey Alistair, thanks for watching. It’s such a wonderful place to be in, I felt very privileged as it was almost all to myself. I’m pleased you liked it.
