not sure if this has been done yet ? amazing wee film, and a brilliant trail that I last rode about 15 years ago :
Lovely.
Will be getting on for ten years since we rode it.
July 2012 for me
15 years ago for me too Iain, was my mates 40th in 2004.
Seems a lifetime ago.
If you're doing that track, also pay a visit to Molinginish which is still not connected by road.
The family used to live at Carragreich and we'd go bog hopping straight over the hill to join on to the Rhenigdale track to get there.
Please treat the track with respect, it's part of our history, save the skidding and heavy braking for mtb trails.
This wee stone is the Molinginish turnoff marker:

Ah love the film, thanks for sharing another ride to add to the bucket list!
We tried to repeat this May but the horizontal snow beat us !
Rode it a couple years ago at Easter.
Have a hankering to do the rennighdale Scottish hill race.
Just in case anyone wants to see Molinginis, here's a pic

Worth the diversion IMO especially if you're bikepacking. Don't think anyone lives there permanently now.
The water in the bay is very clear. I swam out 50 metres or so on one occasion, and I could still see clearly to the bottom.
Amazing! Would love to ride that!

Tbh most folk can't go quick enough on it to muster up a skid.
Thanks!
Thanks Iain. When are we going back?
He only failed once due to weather. He’s one hell of a person and postie.
When you consider the frequency of Atlantic storms and freezing winter weather in Harris, once in 12 years is nothing short of epic!
Argh, more fodder for my drive to get out to the Outer Hebrides. I was lucky to have it as part of my patch years ago when I was a sales rep, (everything north of Dundee!).
Would love to go back with kids and bikes - in fact, this is now on my 2021 list. Must do.
Not sure there's really any need to subtitle the postie.
Locals concerned about path damage I'm told, as well as visitor pressure everywhere else. Change is to be expected I guess.

Seems pretty clear to me what he is saying
We took our camper to Harris (and the other Hebridean isles) in the summer. Didnt get chance to ride that trail but just another reason to go back. The place really is stunning.

Loving the photos.
