Lindsay and I took our Mountain Bike Tandem to Inverness, Scotland to take on a tough bikepacking route, The Badger Divide. The route follows Loch Ness south towards Glasgow, along the Great Glen Way. This long distance bikepacking route goes over mountain passes and along glens and through forests with steep hills and descents. It's a wild route, often with inclement weather. We don't even know if anyone has ever done it before on a mountain bike tandem!

The Badger Divide Bikepacking Route is tough at the best of times. We load it up with all our bike-packing gear and camping equipment before setting off from Inverness with our target being Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow in four days!

In this video, we'll share our experience of bikepacking the route, from the challenges we faced to the amazing Scottish scenery we travel through.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
