First episode on again tonight at 9.30. Episode two is going to Skye - on Monday. All will be available on iPlayer. Nice to see a programme commissioned and produced here dedicated to exploring by bike. Also promotes a younger profile with social media savvy - got a lot of coverage on Twitter. I don't think the fact that places with Gaelic names are being explored by Gaelic speakers should be a barrier in today's multi-cultural media? ;-)
Cycling sisters Kerry and Kirsty MacPhee from South Uist take to social media to find out the nation's favourite cycle routes. In this episode, they are in Applecross in Wester Ross and accompanied by wild swimmer Calum MacLean, who has chosen a route there because of his family ties to the area and his fond memories of holidaying there.
Calum is avoiding the world renowned Bealach na Bà though in favour of a lesser-known off-road route. Starting at Kenmore on Loch Torridon, they mountain bike through Applecross Glen to reach the west coast of the peninsula before finishing the cycle route off with a cooling dip in Applecross River - Calum's recommendation of course!
