Not any of the trail centres , not the puffer course and not evanton sxc

40 or 50 miles , with at least some singletrack ( so not the great glen way ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

Im fresh out of ideas for loops rather than out and backs so over to you for some inspiration ๐Ÿ™‚

Aha. That's something like I was gonna suggest. The track from Cougie over to GA starts well and only gets really boggy near the bottom. At this point, turn left (West) and go right round Glen Affric. The landie track from there to Strawberry Cottage is pretty fast. The return along the north side of the loch is excellent - nice, fun singletrack in places, but you might have to wade a couple of rivers.
