MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Having re-ridden it for the first time in a year, and in the opposite direction, I have decided it is the ideal 'intro to proper gert big hills' riding - easy nav, big climbs but not too big (@50mins), and proper rocky / twisty / bumpy / nearly in the river if you over cook it / river crossings / middle of nowhere ride...
Lovely purple heather down each side today as well 8)
Ignore the 6hrs - MM is set up for walking.

Been meaning to do that. Seeing as you've done it both directions, which is better?
South->North = better climb and steeper descent, with more to catch you out and nice easy return to Killin.
North->South = bugger of a climb, longer and rockier descent, long pedal home to Killin
I'd been trying to tag this onto a ride for ages too, thanks for the info!
I have done this a few times - beautiful glen. Wondered about the S-N climb as I have always done N-S - linked to Kirkton Glen.

Suspect the descent of Kirkton might be a bit boggy at the moment tho and the sustrans route gives a good all weather alternative.

Nice pics and day for it.
Kirkton South->North rocks, even in bog 8)
The next glen over (Monaycle) also has mini quad track / landrover tracks, but is gert boggy. Midsummer leaving a DofE group camp, it was a blast....
Did the route today, south to north starting from Lochearnhead 🙂
