Just read this in the magazine, love your writing and the expeditions you do Amanda. Hope you may continue as contributor.

In the opening paragraphs, so funny and terrifying, I just knew you had gone over the saddle! I did this in 1992 on my DofE gold, and getting down it with full, heavy, 4 day packs on was a bloody nightmare - let alone doing it with bikes! You eejits! 🙂

Love Arran, amazing place, so nice that it is never really that busy as the ferry capacity delivers effective crowd limitation. Arran distillery is great, their Machrie Moor peated malt is off the charts good (and blows your head off, careful, it's 57%).

I do like your calm way of describing something as not really ridable. A bit like your Ben Macdui/cairngorms article. I shall avoid Goat Fell!

There's actually quite a lot of riding on the island nowadays, can't wait to go back!
