absolutely. round these parts there's usually six months of bad weather and road conditions that would be treacherous to tour in.
I love ski touring, sea kayaking, mountaineering, and just plain craggin'.
for a while, in another part of the country, i did a couple of trips riding to ski mountaineer with skis on board, and have ridden to climb, etc.
I recommend a door to door trip that combines one of these other elements - is it possible to ride to scotland, bag a peak, and return in a week from where you live?
