Different ball game on foot perhaps.

Still, scores highly on the niche front - Phat bikes and boats ๐Ÿ˜‰

What a bunch of noddies. I'm a little disappointed to find you can't actually ride on water with your Jesus-bikes.

Yes the inflation method is with a 'bag' but it only takes 2-3 mins once you get the technique dialled.

There was a Grundig World Cup XC race back in the '80s where we had to run across the Spey. Nae mention of rafts back then.

Looks fun though, is there a mooring point at the Inshriach cake shop?

We stop at the cake shop on the way out the put in is just a few km upstream of Jack drakes cakes, you know leave an hour between eating cake and doing watersports .oh and then it just so happens that we finish in the car park of the Old bridge inn,Aviemore

I know that stretch of the Spey past Kinrara, I tutor there now and again. Anne McLaren, the lady of the house, floated downstream from Kincraig home on a LiLo back in the day.

The trails over the road from the Nursery are some of the best Ive ever ridden.
