yeeee haaa! (biking)


Yesterday hannah and I went to explore the Badaguish trails - pronounced 'ba doo ish'... (what?!?) I now know how to pronounce two Scottish place names, get in! - They were lots of fun, we came down on the road to Coylumbridge and did another loop in the forest on the south side of the road to end up at the Rothiemurchus visitor centre. Feeling like kids in a sweet shop we explored lots of random trails and single track. We planned to go back through the Rothiemurchus forest and via Loch Morlich to the Lodge. Whooping and yeeehhaaaing all the way, we got distracted by some sweet trails in the forest, and it's fair to say, got a little geographically embarrased. Having congratulated ourselves on our excellent timing, having reached the loch, we were amused to find that we had, in fact, cycled round Loch an Eilein and ended up back at Rothiemurchus visitor centre - doh- we then had to cycle about 7km further back to the lodge. So our Badaguish/ tea drinking bimble turned into a thigh burning 60km mission. oh yeah, Loch an Eilein is beautiful... you should go there, yeeee haaa!!
