There's a farm on the right just before hitting Cally Burn, has 3 very aggressive dogs that will chase and bite you, especially the biggest of the collies. Be careful, they are never tied up, and there's no gates or fencing to keep them in.

I reached month 21 before I gave up last time. <br /><br />It's a fine line between BAM being an inspiration/incentive and it becoming a box-ticking exercise. At the moment I'm just enjoying kipping outdoors and start to miss it when I've not been out for a few weeks. I find myself looking at potential bivvy spots whenever I'm out riding too.

A few days after my failed attempt I was in Germany with my wife cycling along the Elbe. Pan flat for 350 miles with lots of beer and cake. 2 hours of rain the whole time. Water levels were so low that some of the ferries couldn't run! Somewhat easier than the CL!<br /><br />Your pictures look great as like you say you can't see the wind. I remember struggling up Glen Avon into a headwind on several occasions - brutal! Well done for going sub-40. Cracking achievement :-).<br /><br />Hope to catch up again sometime,<br /><br />Howard<br /><br />P.S. It is amazing how quickly the rivers went down - I easily got across the Fords of Avon dryshod on the Sunday and the Geldie was almost rideable by the time I got to it.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797611449247072636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150027813423304092.post-56377448051895360632019-09-26T20:01:19.962+01:002019-09-26T20:01:19.962+01:00Missed out the Burn of Brown - got an email when i...Missed out the Burn of Brown - got an email when in Aviemore to say it was impassable, then my front brake pads wore out on the way into Braemar so just headed down the Tilt.<br /><br />Stuart Rider's running both the YD200 and YD300 again next year ...Bob Wightmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811197850668307283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150027813423304092.post-61067097984849058392019-09-26T18:30:46.828+01:002019-09-26T18:30:46.828+01:00Good effort Colin and particular congrats bagging ...Good effort Colin and particular congrats bagging good weather and low rivers this year!Phil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862525604575258248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150027813423304092.post-24351148732713863202019-09-26T16:05:01.270+01:002019-09-26T16:05:01.270+01:00Thanks Chris.
