A couple of times I&#39;ve started in Kinlochleven and gone up the WHW right to the top of the Devil&#39;s Staircase, the fireroad serves to get the lungs and legs going before the climbing turns more technical about halfway up. It&#39;s all rideable although I haven&#39;t managed to string it all together in a one-er! At the top I turned back and descended the way I came back (great descent) to the mid point and then followed the pipeline to the dam and the Ciaran Path itself. Once back at Kinlochleven there are a couple of other good descents if you cycle up past Mamore Lodge onto the fireroad - IIRC they&#39;re on the map. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/mbr-top-uk-route-in-scotland/page/2#post-1087639 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:16:13 +0000 nasher 1087639@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Wow!!!!</p> <p>If only sunny days were a regularity like those in the photos </p>
