My brother Gerard (61) and I (65) are planning a cycle trip through Scotland lasting about 7 weeks and covering about 2600 kilometres. We are Dutch but I, being married to a Scots Lass, have come to Scotland for the past 41 years. We will travel by boat on 6th May from Ijmuiden to Newcastle and cycle from Newcastle to Gretna Green. Gretna Green or Annan will be the real start of our trip.
In the process of cycling (not electric) through Scotland we, great lovers of Scots malt whisky, are going to try to visit all distilleries in Scotland, to begin with the Annandale Distillery and Bladnoch Distillery and then the Isles, Highlands, Orkney’s, Speyside and Lowlands. etc. etc.
The objective of our trip is to collect as much money as possible to support Cancer Research UK. The slogan under which we will be cycling is “Scots Whisky for Cancer Research goes Dutch”.
Mooie stropdas !!
