In 1985, I cycled from Edinburgh to John a Groats and then down again to Fort William, and I do a lot of mountain biking, so this book was very reminiscent of my own experiences. That made it quite enjoyable, although some of the events detailed were really too trivial to be worth writing down.
The interesting facts about the locations he passed through were mostly just that. I don't know how well he checked them. Shore bindweed grows at several sites in Scotland, not just the one.
I was sad to hear that the wonderful SYHA castle is no longer a youth hostel. We stayed there in the days when you had to do chores in the morning and our job was to dust the statues!
