The magic of the Trossachs. A really nice place to ride bikes & film. Enroute to Dunblane for another day of filming for Countryside Trust - with an even better forecast today. Cycling along a flat Loch Lubnaig yesterday evening was my favourite bit so far.

📽️📷🚴Day 1 of 4 fab fun days filming with Markus & Jim Riach meeting with other cycling enthusiasts from across the Park!

🌞Weather was perfect to be exploring one of our special film locations we will be showcasing this year!

A few frames from filming in the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park for Countryside Trust - what a place to cycle!

On route to Dunblane for the first day of filming for Countryside Trust - a new film coming soon. Active travel content produced by active travel, all gear is on the bike. First a cycle to Aberfoyle - then Loch Katrine & then to Callander. Long & hopefully productive day ahead!

Morning inspiration - as the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall nears, we visited the East Side Gallery on our trip to VeloBerlin last weekend. I have plans to cycle the length of the former wall later in the year by bike. #berlin #wall
