Cairngorm to Coast is a 66 mile bike and hike from Cairngorm to RAF Lossiemouth, starting at the Cairngorm Ski Centre, walking up to the Ptarmigan Centre, then 33 miles on foot towards the coast, collecting bicycles from ballindalloch Castle, then pedalling the rest of the way, all within 24 hours, no mean feat!
Here is a collection of clips from points along the first half of the journey, the walk.
Only 4 of the original 19 participants were physically able to finish the event. If you think you've got what it takes, and want to help raise money for the RAF Benevolent Fund, or if you'd like to be part of the friendly team of volunteers that make the event possible, get in touch with Team RAFBF Lossiemouth @
