Dan Warren and his wife Dee Johnson embarked on a challenging 225-mile hike across Scotland in pursuit of delicious pastries, overcoming various hardships including sore feet and swarms of midges. Their goal was the Bakehouse in Mallaig, where they could savor exquisite baked goods like brioche buns filled with creme patissiere. This trend of bakery pilgrimages is echoed by others like professional cyclist Maddy Nutt, who frequently plans long rides around visits to exceptional bakeries, highlighting the camaraderie among patrons willing to travel for culinary delights.
"Some of the time we were pushing through overgrown tracks, and there were lots of bogs... But their eventual reward was a soft brioche bun, filled with creme patissiere and finished with crumble and berries."
"I'll go out of my way to get to the best bakeries... a puncture meant she arrived three minutes before it closed. She spent 3 on a charity shop rucksack and took home what remained of the bakery's daily output."
