I did 900 mailes from John O Groats to Bristol in May. There was lots of fantastic scenery but for me the most breathtaking moment was going from Glencoe to Claonaig for the ferry to Arran. I had taken a shortcut bypassing Oban which had turned out more hilly than I had expected and I was knackered. I was also getting stressed about the need to finish in time for the last ferry. Back onto the main road, I was cruising along and gradually became aware that I was not alone. Just the other side of the fence at the side of the road there was a Roe deer buck keeping pace with me. Without the fence I could probably have reached out and touched it. It was just bouncing along, over logs etc. while I was cruising along on the smooth tarmac. Eventually I had to give into the urge to have a better look but as soon as I turned to look at it better it darted off into the trees. The experience lifted my spirits greatly.
