AKA Na h'Oidhche.. Not bad fun is it? Walked it once with school, once on a frozen Xmas day ('95 I think), & it seemed rather shorter on the bike. Had it in slightly drier conditions, June 2010, loose as the proverbial, but the water splash was wonderful that day!

My only pic, parked to the west of the bothy + looking west.

Did that in may when I think the weather was even worse than yours appeared to be. At the furthest point it was like being machine gunned with frozen peas the hail was so big! Good track though.

Is the gate on the bog deer fence near the start still locked? I had to take the "walkers" gate off its hinges last time I was there ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, I agree with you - This was done a bit in a rush. You can still mute it but thanks for trying.

Those pictures show how good it could have been with a blue sky. I guess I have to go back.

I'd rather watch that than a load of chestcam footage, gives you a better idea of the route, but how the hell do you enjoy the ride?
