Day off-Wife working and Kids away for the day….
Ok maybe not the best weather but decided to try another Torridon classic.. Circuit round Liathach
Temperature gauge sitting at +3 and mountain tops looking very pretty with a touch of snow.
Easy start on the road down Glen Torridon and slow climb up to Coire Mhic Nobuil.
Real nice Singletrack up through ancient Scots Pine with a thundering river raging below.
A few sneak peaks of Ben Alligin
This path soon opens up to the formidable surroundings of Torridon Classics- Alligin-Beinn Dearg-Liathach
Views were soon lost amongst the grey blackness and snow/sleet filled sky’s ahead in the Choire Dhuibh
The terrain got harder, the sky got grayer and it was more walking than pedaling…soon it was non cyclable for around the next 2 miles of rock strewn bog infested mess……
Then only the roars of the stags could be heard bellowing around the hills.
The call of the wild
Hustled between the formidable mountains…waiting for breaks in the weather.. too cold and wet to stop.
The sky’s cleared.. the path ahead smoothed
The descent begun
Superb trip… Not a huge amount of climbing but a lot of pushing that soon gets forgotten.
Very atmospheric trip
