Campbell is pretty good too. The "Rhinestone" trail is guaranteed to be the Time of Your Life.

I think Close used to be a cracking ride, but I'm not sure anyone has been there for a while so things might have become a bit overgrown.

Glen Feshie has some nice singletrack at the top. And there's Gypsy Glen.

Trail-rat +1 Glen Miller is good if you are "in the mood" Can be a bit wet mind.

Glen Close is unsurprisingly lacking in rabbits.

NBT, if you're going up Glen Feshie do the Carn Ban Mor loop - an absolute classic and one of the best descents in the UK. Park at Auchlean at the end of the road. Singletrack along the glen to the landrover track at 847938. Head up the track, turn left onto the path at the top of Moine Mor and you're away

+1 for the Carn Mor loop but it ain't easy going up the track if you're heading into the wind. Or least it wasn't for me! Ace ride down though.

I would say CBM is a no no for a couple of weeks yet. Walked Sgor Gaoith on Saturday and there's still a lot of snow up there

Ta, We're primarily going for the Mayday skiing @ Cairngorm so the snowy pics are good - will call in @ Bothy Bikes and see what they recommend ๐Ÿ™‚

If all else fails, we can hit Golspie and Laggan, just thought it might be nice to do some natural stuff as well

glen affrick is worth a look if you're in the loch ness area. I've only done a basic loop around loch affrick but there's potential for an out-bothy-back style trip in superb scenery

Corrieyarrick pass aint a glen but its pretty good .

Stiff climbing both ways though - you are rewarded for it though - 20k downhills either side ... 900m pass twice - can you guess what i did today ๐Ÿ˜‰
