00:00 The Cairngorms in the Scottish Highlands.
00:03 Britain's biggest national park.
00:07 It's beautiful, but you've got to know what you're doing.
00:10 We've got four days to cover 310 kilometres.
00:14 There's a punchy 4,400 metres of climbing,
00:18 including the 1,000 metre high mountains of Cairn of Bashi and Bain y Fomor.
00:23 It's a long, long, long, long climb. Like, it just...it bites.
00:27 And we're doing it on gravel bikes.
00:29 It's not a slash, it is a hole.
00:31 We're heading deep into the wilderness.
00:34 Low terrain. On certain sections, you'd be quicker running.
00:38 This is 26%.
00:40 It's like riding on a knife-edge.
00:43 Whoa!
00:45 Alright, about 180 there.
00:48 We're already following a fine schedule.
00:51 And the weather has changed quite dramatically.
00:54 Grim, grim, grim.
00:57 So from here on in, dirt tracks.
00:59 A bit more grip would help.
01:01 Going over the gait path.
01:03 It's potentially quite hazardous.
01:05 If you did your ankle, I don't know how you'd get out of here quickly.
01:09 You get out of here quickly.
