Well I've just got back from my first mtbing trip to Scotland/lakes. What can I say....? What a blast, the best biking I have ever experienced. I feel like I should share it!
Arrived last Friday at Fort Wiliam for the beginning of an action packed weekend.
My highlights of the WC included:
Goodish weather, blisteringly quick DH racing and of course the short but sweet Danny Mac display. Pics to follow.
Then from monday, travelled South to hit some trail centres. In order of preference:
Glentress
Whinlatter Pass (Lakes)
Dalbeattie
Kiroughtree
Highlights include: the "qualifier" and "Slab" at Dalbeattie, North loop descent at Whinlatter, really pedally singletrack at Kiroughtree and how could I forget the amazing facilities at Scotgate campsite (Braithwaite). I'm talking huge walk-in showers, heated flooring and auto flush loos!!!!
Could of done with soooo much more time to ride more trails and to re-ride the ones already ridden.
I know these are locals for alot of people on this forum, but seriously if you've not been to Scotland or the Lakes to ride, DO IT NOW!!!!
I Could go on and on.....
