When my friend asked me to join her on an activity weekend in the Scottish mountains my answer was simple: ‘Absolutely not’.
I’m not the outdoorsy type and (*confession time*) I haven’t ridden a bike since I was a teenager, so mountain bike trekking and quad biking didn’t exactly sound like my cup of tea.
But then she threw in a sweetener. The Maccabees, one of my favourite bands, were playing at a festival hosted by Mumford & Sons in the resort where we would be staying. ‘Sign me up’, I hastily exclaimed.
