Pop across the road next time to the “brown” stuff. Absolutely fantastic (as long as it’s dry!)[/quote]
Aye, adds a huge amount to the trails… I had a really disappointing ride at laggan a couple of years back- previous times I’d been it all seemed as hard as balls, and the black took us ages as we did battle with it, stopping and re-trying and falling off and generally having a great day. This time, I just rode down the black and got to the bottom and went, is that it? And it kind of broke it for me, being able to actually ride it, suddenly it was all so diminished compared to how I remembered it. It was still good but that was all.
And then I discovered the brown trails and suddenly it’s a big, grand day out again. (and if it’s wet, riding the brown reminds me of what riding used to be like, when I sucked)
Kinlochleven-Nevis-Laggan seems like a good long weekend to me.
