BACK TO THE FUTURE

A group of three adventurers have tackled an epic cycling adventure – first done in 1936. As part of their 90th anniversary celebrations and in support of Scotland’s Year of Stories 2022, Hostelling Scotland teamed up with the Adventure Syndicate’s Lee Craigie, Alice Lemkes, and Phillipa Battye, to recreate an epic 500-mile cycle and youth hostelling adventure from the 1930s. The original two-week, two-wheeled holiday was carried out by 17-year-old hosteller Mary Harvie, from Shotts in North Lanarkshire, with her two older sisters, Ella and Jean. The trip included North West Highlands, Skye, Highland Perthshire and Stirlingshire. www.hostellingscotland.org.uk
