Naw bikes involved?
On your bike trips where do you go?
Some trips are just on Rothiemurchus and the Spey, finishing at the Old bridge inn some are further afield.
Next week we're off to Loch Maree for a couple of days to do a trip.
Knoydart and the northwest for other boat/bike trips too.
For bikes and boats
No bikes on the Feshie as it's (well certainly the gorge section) a bit on the gnarly side. Likely to be bike/boat/rock/face interaction!
Loch Maree is great. Remember to visit the viking graves.
Aye we're gonna camp on the bigger island and paddle over to check em out.
SO you do trips you couldn't otherwise do, ride places that would otherwise be tough to get to?
camping on an island sounds fun.
In a nutshell
on foot too
or rollerblades if you really wanted
More my thing..
What sort of distances are you covering?
wonder if i could put a submercible leccy motor on one of the rafts...... 😉
Really depends on terrain
but the boat only weighs just over 2 kg paddle and BA 1kg ish so add that onto your usual bikepacking kit.
The bikerafting vid up there we do around 15-20km on bikes and then 6km on water. all in all it takes the day 9-5 including cake and beer stops
(beer at the end)

You could try one of those kiddies scuba motor thingys
A real man would use a rechargeable drill with a spare prop gaffertaped to it.
That's got me thinking though. I really should get round to heading out for a weekend on my kayak soon. I planned a trip last year, but never got round to it.

What would he use to stop?
Another drill mounted at the bow.
Or, just put the drill in reverse.
Or a brick on a long piece of string tied to the back of the boat.
Minor problems.
Throw the bike overboard it makes a great anchor 😯
i would love the have a couple of days floating down the rivers like that.
we cycles on the side of the tweed on saturday, it looked fantastic.
the findhorn would be a bit much i reckon for starters 😉
Aye the findorn video was us pushing the boats limits (and ours) that section was grade 4 in places. we stick to grade 1-2 on trips.
