Visted September 2018
I had a short trip to Scotland in October 2019 to hike around the mountains of Glencoe but the weather was shocking so I went across to the island of Mull. It was better weather and so peaceful. I saw wild otters up close and majestic sea eagles.
I also caught the ferry to the sacred island of Iona, cycled every road(about 2 miles of them), had lunch in the derelict nunnery, then caught the ferry back.
Where shall I go next results:

Explore The Shop →I have made a ‘Promise on Sustainability’ so I am very conscious of the environment. I mainly travel by bicycle and I try not to buy single use plastics. Unfortunately I sometimes have to travel on a ferry or airline to cross a sea, ocean, or a country where I cannot get a visa or dogs aren’t allowed.
If you see me on the road or in a city I am usually pleased to have a selfie with you. I love cuddles and gentle petting. Just shout, “Sprout, Sprout, Travelling Sprout”.
In 2020, I am cycling from Amsterdam to Lapland travelling through Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Norway. I will be looking for Santa so if you see him, please tell me where you saw him!
In September I am going to cycle tour the Karakorum Highway from Islamabad to the Chinese border and then back to Lahore. I will be flying from Amsterdam to Islamabad with Turkish Air as the flight has a short stop over in Istanbul. This will give me chance to stretch my legs before the 5 hour flight onwards to the Pakistan capital.
Go to the shop on this website where a small range of Travelling Sprout toys are available to purchase pre -order only at the moment. The first book ‘Sprout visits London’ is written and available by pre-order as well. Simply buy the book in the shop and we will send it to you as a priority when it is delivered to us. The first in the collectable series of fridge magnets is available now. The whole Travelling Sprout range will be expanding soon.

Hey, I've just found you travel blog site. I cycle tour too, I have been round the NW500 in the summer of 2019. It was a great bicycle route, very scenic, and wild camping was easy everywhere. You would love it. Lots of good photo opportunities too. If you want any help get in touch. Jonnie.Replied by Travelling Sprout, 5 years ago Reply
Hi Jonnie, I love meeting cycle tourers and chatting to them about the route ahead. I would like to go to John O Groats so if I cycle the north west of Scotland again, I will get in touch as it looks a wonderful place to travel blog about. Carry on touring, Sprout xAdd a reply
