Highland Wildcat Trail at Golspie reviewed by Singletrackworld member Jason Curle…

“The Highland Wildcat trial at Golspie is a long, long way away from me, but I would quite happily do the 20hr round trip again to ride it again. The layout nicely mixes Blue, Red and Black runs that flow almost imperceptibly into each other. Located on the hillside next to the small town of Golspie in Sutherland, about 50 miles north of Inverness, there are only a few (very lucky) people that could call this their local trail.

I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.

    “The trails are on the right hand side just as you come into the town.”

    Erm, i made them on the left as you are heading north along the A9.

    Coffee Bothy does excellent food, and the trail is well worth making the effort to ride twice.

    Will be up there with some regularity from September onwards, as folks now have a house on the peninsula across the firth. I’m quite excited to have this facility in proximity, and will be looking forward to trying it out, along with others in the area.

    Peace
