Loch 'n' Walk: Finding Calm in the Trossachs

Escape the chaos and find your pace. In this episode of Pedal Paddle Pace, we’re heading to the stunning Loch Lubnaig in the heart of the Trossachs. After a bit of a run of bad luck in August—from broken cars to a chipped tooth—there’s nothing quite like the glassy waters of a Scottish loch to recharge the batteries and find some mental clarity. Join me as I: Explore the serene and photogenic waters of Loch Lubnaig, away from the weekend crowds. Embrace the Changeable Weather: From morning rain to afternoon sun, experiencing Scotland in all its glory. Hike Ben Ledi Path: Trading the paddle for boots to get some elevation and take in those breath taking Highland views. Reflect on the Journey: Looking back on 19 episodes and how a "stupid accident" became the catalyst for this entire adventure. BIG NEWS: This is Episode 19, which means the next one is the big 2-0! I’ve got something special planned for our landmark 20th episode—You won't want to miss the start of this next chapter. I’d love to hear from you: What’s the one thing that gives you that "spur" to get up and go? Is it a commitment to a pet, a hobby, or just the need for some quiet time in nature?
