Monday Motivation: ‘Riding the Void’ with Dan Milner
Win a GO3 Camera by Insta360 this issue in our FREE subscriber prize draw.
Perhaps it’s the infamous weather or perhaps the notorious midge, or maybe it’s because they’re a ruddy long way from anywhere, but either way, the wild Scottish Highlands sit off the radar of most mountain bikers. Join adventure photographer Dan Milner and Alex Glasgow on a journey outside the norm, riding into the void.
This is a story about embracing both the rewards and freedom of a mountain bike road trip and the challenges of choosing to do it by train through one of Scotland’s most empty spaces. This is the story of a road trip dictated not by filling stations and convenient trail center car parks but by inflexible train timetables, scarce accommodation options, and a near-total absence of diners. Route 66, this is not.
