    Having a long weekend in May, staying in Kinlochleven.
    Approximate plan is:
    . Friday, hike-a-bike Ben A’an.
    . Saturday, ride Fort Bill DH all day.
    . Sunday, this is where you can help.

    On last year’s similar trip, we did Glencoe chairlift for a day then Devil’s Staircase to Kinlochleven. Fort Bill. Ciaran Path.

    Any reccomendations for similar stuff worth lugging a big bike around?

    How big a big bike? The riding around Kinlochleven is fantastic, IMO the stuff off the mamore lodge road that they used for the dudes of hazard enduros is a lot better than the ciaran path. Especially in the wet- you get wetter than you’d imagine possible but it rides so well, you’re basically hammering down a stream.

    How big a big bike?

    Not massive… Patriot with a 66ti… 39lbs

    so, yes, ‘Dudes’ stuff in Linlochleven area would be ideal. Any specifics?

    I was going to say Dudes’ enduro stuff – Here’s the route as a GPX: Dudes’ Enduro – Nov 2013.

    First 2 stages are excellent :). Actually all of it was excellent but they were the most fun.

    Edit – if you want a smaller day or some trail centre fun then Laggan can be a good laugh. Big bike for it but some fun trails.

    Cheers guys,
    euain, I’ll take a look at those when I get home tonight.

    Not really inclined towards trail centres but might consider Laggan then if the weather conspires against us.
