England · Scotland
Where it all started — Lancashire and Oxfordshire in the early 2010s — and where home turf moved to when Kevin relocated to Scotland.
The British Isles pillar covers two different things: the earliest riding on the whole site, logged around Wigan and Oxfordshire back in 2012–2013, and the current UK home base near Alloa, in the shadow of the Ochils, plus the day trips that fan out from it — the Trossachs, Loch Tay, and a run out west to Argyll and the Kyles of Bute.
Unlike the Swiss and Italian pillars, there's no single climbing legend here — this is the quieter, more personal side of the archive: training loops, family rides with Priska and Lillie, a two-year knee injury working itself out in the ride notes, and the earliest days on a bike a decade before any of the rest of this site existed.
Alloa, the Ochils, and the training loop — plus Killin and Loch Katrine further out.
