Has anyone rode in the the Fort William area of Scotland. Looking for some natural trails away from any trail centers. a group of us are heading up there in the summer. any help or advice would be great.
Cheers.
Depends what you want; in increasing order of technicality:
Great Glen Way.
Circle anticlockwise around Bein a Bheithir, starting at Ballachuilish.
Tour de Ben Nevis route.
West Highland Way; take the train south to Bridge of Orchy, ride back to Ft Bill.
From Kinlochleven: Loch Eilde Mor- Luibelt- Treig- Loch Chiarain- Blackwater- Ciaran Path back to KLL.
Enduro routes around KLL.
Try the Cicerone guide to MTB for the North & West Highlands.
Many thanks @highlandman this will give me something to work on.
Not a particularly long ride, in fact, it's only about 7 miles, but is an awesome experience on a nice summers day...
Drive to Mallaig, and take Inverie ferry, tell the man that you are staying on til Tarbet at the head of Loch Nevis, then get off there (super dodgy wee slippy pier, with lots of folk watching on ferry, praying for you to fall off!)
Up and over the wee climb to Swordland, and along the side of Loch Morar to the hotel at Morar.
Have a pint, even some food on the deck looking out over to the Small isles and the Cuillins.
Wee pedal back to Mallaig.
Braw.
