I had a time frame of three weeks in November so I started to look into possibilities when quickly my eye fell on a flight to Kathmandu. Nepal ticked off all the boxes I was looking for in my next trip, so without too much overthinking slightly nervous I booked the flights.</p>https://jenyckee.github.io/posts/cairngorms/Thu, 14 Dec 2017 17:46:56 +0100https://jenyckee.github.io/posts/cairngorms/<p>This winter in December I took a little escape from work to the Cairngorms national park in Scotland. I had been curious about riding a fatbike for quite some time and after seeing &ldquo;Mountain Bikes and Bothy Nights&rdquo; by Alastair Humphreys, a great video about bothy culture I thought this would be the perfect area to do so.</p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/126241724?dnt=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" allow="fullscreen" loading="eager" title="Vimeo video"> </iframe> </div> <p>Other than that I Recently have been intrigued by steel bike frames. This for a couple of reasons. Steel bike frames are usually stiffer, tough heavier than aluminum frames. They are cheaper and more durable than carbon frames. And overall they just look cool.</p>
