Looks like there is going to be an influx of STWers descending on Torridon – god help them!
Glad you’ve all enjoyed the pics/writeup. Might do one on our Four Passes trip in the Lakes earlier in the summer seeing as this one went down so well.
Superb mate. Brilliant images. Any number of them would look brilliant in the printed magazine.
I only live down the road from STW towers too – whaddaya reckon STW? 😀
Can I ask what your approx ride times/stats where, time, climbing, distances ?
Applecross ride I think was about 40km/730m of climbing and I think took about 4-5 hours. We’re far from super fit and stopped for pics/mechanicals etc.
Torridon ride was probably about 40km/1250m of climbing and took about 7 hours in total somehow.
Next time try and take in the climb up and around Bealach a choire Ghairbh. Beast of a climb but the decent is ace.
Yeah we didn’t end up setting off early enough really with the trip back from the bothy first thing. Would stay in Torridon itself the night before next time.
