“just a cycle, followed by a run, then a paddle with another wee cycle to finish.” The reality is much more severe…
The rest of the journey will include RUNNING the West Highland Way, CLIMBING Ben Nevis and PADDLING the Great Glen from Fort William to Inverness. The challenge will be completed with a final gruelling CYCLE on tired legs to John O’ Groats.
