Can anyone help with recommendations for a good technical long route around Glencoe area. we are heading up late October and hoping to ride natural on Sat and uplift (if still running) on the Sun. We are all experienced riders, any recommendations would be appreicated.

Cheers
Chay

Devils Staircase to Kinlochleven.
Extend to include Ciaran Path down from Blackwater dam if you can.

Oooh loads of options. My suggestion would be.

Up Devil's Staircase. Down to the the dam access road. Up to the Blackwater dam. Nip across* and down the Ciaran trail.

*may be a tad cheeky so consider looking for the path crossing just below the dam.

Edit: ET beat me to it.

Thanks guys, I understand the uplift stays open to the end of Oct weather dependant. Any more route suggestions welcome, don't mind driving for half an hour to pick up another trail. Cheers.

late October

Be prepared for snow and atrocious weather on high routes by then. Have plan B, low level.
