Heavens, I have gone down the rabbit hole on this. Such wonderful video, commentary, history, language, etc that I will end up watching many videos when I really should be working....

I did it southbound and jumped across to Arran. Will need to finish the last section. Another great video Simon

Beautiful country and some sweet quiet-ish tarmac to glide along Loch Awe. Bravo

[fionahunt]

We camped at that campsite, virtually on the beach. So beautiful

Hi great video. Keep going. I will be 60 this year, BUT will do "the Ride" 8 days of cycling., 1300km and 18.000 hm, including Mt Ventoux, Alpe D'huez and the col du Glandon. So I will keep going as well. Never too old!

Sean's flip flops were lovely. Great video gives me food for thought.

I’m just about to embark on my first trip of the whole Caledonia way with my friend and I have to say these videos are great bud, informative and well edited. Kudos.

[paulaball]

I really enjoyed your account of this part of the journey. Just about to watch the second installment.

We are doing this this May. Looks fantastic

[gcsScotland]

Another excellent route video - looks stunning and definitely worth a visit. Thanks 👍👍

[garyfoston]

Wonderful sunset shots. I’m lucky enough to live in easy reach of the west coast and it truly is that magical. One if the reasons that I’m here for good. Excellent video as always Simon.

[monistefmontesdeleon]

great video! I‘m feeling „homesick“ watching this. Before the pandemic we used to visit Kilmartin and the Kintyre Peninsula every year, sometimes even several times a year. But we never were there with our bikes. Next time we surely will explore the region with our bikes. In the meantime I will watch your videos and get inspired.

I rode this from Campbeltown to Oban via Loch Awe and then Glen Donan back in June .102 miles into a north westerly wind .Epic .
Very tough at Loch Awe with the Panniers

[saramay]

Great video and thank you for staying with us at Kings Reach Vegan B & B, it was a pleasure to meet you both. We love the drone footage of Dunadd Hill, absolutely stunning.

Another great video Simon. Very enjoyable. Well done, sir.

[sureshchinnappa]

Well done Si great documentary. The views and the towns are magnificent. In Victoria we are back in lock down so no riding. Just the same your video helps me to look forward to the joys of riding. I love Scotland!
