Have always preferred open spaces to technical trails and am looking at some options.
Has anyone cycled from Kinlochleven (near Glencoe/Ballachulish) north east to Loch Ossian YH and Corrour and return ? Looks like there's a track but not sure how rideable it is ?
Thanks
path from Luibeilt to Creaguaineach Lodge is a bit indistinct in places and there's quite a lot of off/on/off action due to bogs and burn crossings. Rode it as KLL>Luibeilt>Creaguaineach>Gleann Iolairean>Blackwater>KLL which is a good day out in the hills.
Have only ridden Ossian>Trieg path once (and it was a long time ago), but IIRC the treig end is pretty rough and steep, better going after it crosses the railway. suffered a ennormous bonk on that ride, so memory a bit hazy...
many thanks Marty - very useful as I'd wondered about certain sections - might have another think
From KLL to Luibeilt is good LR track. From Luibeilt to Creaguaineach is 90% portage on the Staoineag side of the Uisghe Labhair, the route I always take. From Creaguaineach to the YH is 100% rideable the old LR track has been renovated. No technical fun here - either portage or Landrover track.
Options to make a loop are limited - I presume you intend returning by the same route. If you go from Loch Treig towards Chairain you pick up a technical track at the dam, but the portage is crap.
