An imaginary journey round Scotland, linking together wild bothies and landscapes. Apart from one day, when I was joined by a friend, I made this trip by myself, filming it all myself. I used a car to do the grunt work between some of the locations as they are spread all over Scotland. Please don’t ask me for the locations of these bothies!

VIA FERRATA is a short film about the first descent of a fixed-rope climbing-route on a Mountainbike. Christoph Thoresen filmed my bikeride in the amazing Brenta Dolomites with a drone. Bocchette Alte was not ridden. At Via Ferrata Benini, Vidi and Oris I rode >90% of all the downhill-sections.

It’s stupidly dangerous, feels tripple as exposed as it looks like and there is a lot more uphill-climbing involved than the video shows. You think about doing this tour too?
