Managed to wangle a 5 day trip to Torridon which has been on my to do list for a long time it did not disappoint, plan was base myself near the SYHA in Torridon as the weather was going to dictate my bivvy/bothy plans. Forecast looked good so checked in at the hostel just to get a good nights sleep under my belt then head to a local loop with a couple of riding buddies who were staying all week at the hostel.
First day was a peach with great descents,weather and good beers @ the Torridon Inn

Bivvyed out that night and then headed for a loop taking in Craig Bothy(old yha) which took in a fair bit of road work the coastal path 9 miles, was hard work with a laden bike but the views were stunning of Skye. The bothy was well stocked with firewood so all cooking was done on a log stove!
The ride back the following day was a mixture off road and track and pubs 🙂
