The only chat I’ve seen about the stages is that there’s new stuff being built, and forestry work being done to reopen old stuff. Which I’m taking to mean, fit the Barons, there will be slop. But absolutely no clue on distance- it’s a no fuss/innerleithen mtb racing collaboration so I’m kind of assuming it’ll be similiar to their previous enduros, which tends to mean a big day out but doable for a reasonably fit rider.
Would I **** camp up there at this time of year for a race! If you’ve got the right kit it’ll be perfectly comfortable, if you don’t you may just die 😉 But I want full on creature comforts, soft bed, hot shower, in case of a hard day’s practice. FW’s usually not expensive for accomodation, Spean Bridge can be good too and is actually closer to nevis range than most of the fw hotels.
I might be able to sort you a lift but I’ve no idea what my plans are for the weekend so I don’t want to promise and let you down…
