Follow My Challenge:

Starting mid-May, I challenged myself to cycle the length and breadth of Scotland, via every operating single malt distillery in the country to raise money in aid of two charities, Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance and the Scottish regions of the charity Cash for Kids. The ride started at the Bladnoch Distillery near Wigtown, Dumfries and Galloway, and finished at the Saxa Vord Distillery on the Isle of Unst, Shetland; a journey of approx 2300 miles (3600km).
Along with simply travelling the eye watering distances involved, it is hoped each distillery visited will donate at least one bottle of whisky to a central event collection, creating a unique whisky collection containing a bottle from every distillery in Scotland. This will then be auctioned after the ride, further raising funds for the charities. Keep an eye on the website and social media after the ride for more information! |

The entire ride used GPS tracking technology to make it as interactive as possible, along with various social media channels to keep everyone up to date with information and pictures of my journey. The full route can now be found on Komoot.
