Seeking a temporary escape from the city and a world gone mad, Alan
Brown plots out a personal challenge: an epic coast-to-coast trip
through the lonely interior of the Highlands. He traverses paths
historic and new, eschewing creature comforts and high-tech gear,
trusting his (mostly) serviceable bike and his own skills. Armed
with the essentials and a sense of curiosity, he discovers more
about nature, people, our country, risk and himself than he ever
thought possible. Alan traces a route from Argyllshire's Loch Etive
across remote Rannoch moors, dramatic Grampian terrain and the
beautiful glens of Strathspey to reach the Moray Firth at Findhorn.
Ready for all weathers and obstacles, he succumbs to the hypnotic
daily routine of ride, eat, sleep, repeat. He's savouring the
landscapes, the wildlife and the solitude, and relishing the
self-reliance. He is also picking up clues to past lives and
discovering how the land has been altered by industry and game
sports or, sometimes, conserved for wildlife and trees.
