Ramsay MacMahon walks along the banks of Loch Arklet in the Trossachs in the company of Kerry MacPhee, the first person from the Western Isles to qualify for the Commonwealth Games. Kerry reflects on her life and her journey to competitive cycling, from her upbringing on the island of South Uist to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014.
As they walk alongside the loch, Kerry candidly talks to Ramsay about the highs and lows of a career in sport and she opens up about how personal loss informs her attitude towards life today. She talks about future challenges on the bike and about the area’s connection to Rob Roy.
