Seven kms of uphill, single track road. Every few hundred yards there would be a passing bay, pull in, check the road ahead for any sign of a car and push on to the next one.

Wendy and I were more considerate than the dude on his recumbent, he would only stop if the car was already on the next section of road.

We rode with him for a while chatting about what pests the deer were and how we would be better off if they had some natural predators.

The plan, which is facing huge opposition from farmers, is to release Lynx back into the Scottish Highlands to control feral deer.

Eventually, he pushed on whilst Wendy and I waited for a car to pass. We never managed to catch up with him again.

Last news of the release is it has still not passd regulatory hurdles.

At the top of the climb there was a small loch and the road opened out to a mormal two way road.
