I don't think I'd like to walk down never mind ride a bike.

glad to see he was wearing a helmet... that kept him safe!

I've walked the Cuillin Ridge and parts of it terrified me.

Was it the Cullin, or another of Scotland's infamous ridges, that Steve Thomas did on his MTB years ago - when he was told by the mountain guide that he must use a safety line for H&S reasons he just purchased a washing line and tied it around his middle.

That was Aonach Eagach.

Watched that video in what I can only describe as horrified fascination. At one point I was feeling queasy, at another had to shut my eyes. I was up there earlier this year on foot and wussed out of going on to the summit of my intended climb once I got to the top of the ridge. Admittedly there was a bit of snow then, but still.

I won't need any more coffee this morning.

Programme on making the film on BBC Scotland now.
