Galloway Cycling Holidays

Rouleur Magazine is a big deal. We were helping our friends from Wild Cycles to explore the amazing landscape here in Galloway.
I think they ended up seeing the northern lights and sing shanty songs with people they met in the bothy.

Also thanks to The-Ship-Inn and Annandale Distillery for their special support and contributions 🏆

Nice to see our UNESCO Biosphere and businesses championing it are referenced by the media.

Travel writer Robin McKelvie visited Dumfries & Galloway in November and we were delighted to be invited by the South of Scotland Destination Alliance to meet Robin in the Biosphere Community of Gatehouse of Fleet, to talk about the unique attractions of our UNESCO region and the work of the GSA Biosphere Partnership. Robin's latest articles for InsiderScotland and The Herald are linked below, spotlighting heritage sites, creative arts, guided experiences, and a host of Biosphere Proud Supporters and Certification Mark awardees including Knockinaam Lodge Hotel, OakHill Cafe & Deli, Glentrool Hive, The Ship Inn, The Vault Arts Centre, Stranraer Development Trust, Dumfries Tours, and Penninghame Estate.

Well worth a read with some great photos of Robin's tour of D&G. Our own inspiring aerial shot over Gatehouse is courtesy Galloway Cycling Holidays - give them a bell if you want to create your own Biosphere adventure!

I think yesterday's ride to White Laggan was the most photogenic we have ever done. Near total silence and lochs smooth mirrors to grey sky.

Back home and pleased to see that the autumn colours are still here. Out on the Temple cafe cruiser and a new camera in the saddle bag! My camera of choice has become trendy and gone up 400% on eBay - so hello Panasonic G100.

We must have done this route thirty times or more. Today we had time enough to explore, and of course found better tracks to link together. I think they are not on the map, but goodness are they an improvement. It was good, but now it may be the best route from our door.

We might take our ability of cycling for granted, but not all are as lucky.
So, I am happy to share this post that promote accessible bikes.
Get in touch with WASP,( Wigtownshire 'Stuff' - see the poster below), or check them out when they are in Castle Douglas - 17th October.
Enjoy.
