OVERLANDER

Seeking a temporary escape from city life and a mad modern world, Alan Brown plots out a personal challenge: an epic coast-to-coast trip bikepacking through the heart of the Highlands. Starting at Loch Etive in Argyll, he crosses Rannoch Moor, the Perthshire glens and the Grampians to reach the Moray Firth at Findhorn - and in doing so, he discovers more about nature, history, people, his country, the concept of risk, and himself, than he ever thought possible.
