Overlander – Bikepacking coast to coast across the heart of the highlands

Local author and cycling campaigner Alan Brown set himself a personal challenge: an epic coast-to-coast trip through the lonely interior of the Highlands.

He’ll be telling stories about his journey, offering advice on how to take your own bikepacking trip, and asking questions about how owns and manages the wild country of Scotland.

‘Let’s get out there. Life is short and the active part of it can be shorter still.’ Alan says, ‘”Cyclists dismount?’” No – cyclists mount. Turn the cranks over.’

Alan’s new book, Overlander (‘sensitive, personal and culturally informed.’ – Andy Wightman, MSP; ‘returns cross country cycling to what it should be.’ – Lesley Riddoch) is published by Saraband.
