there's some reet tricky trails along with stunning views out that way

Sean - I have some of these on my radar for next year, but fear that I may have to become a resident to ride all that I want to. The Kinlochewe loop in particular has a certain allure.

Ah - I feel a whole winters worth of map browsing and route planning coming on......

If its the same loop, the descent is kinda tricky...

I think this needs pulled back to the usual 'level' of STW, so..

What tyres for Fisherfield Forest?

Seriously though, great post, very inspiring and made me try to work out how long its been since I was up there, and how soon I could get a trip back up there soon.

Nice one! ๐Ÿ™‚

Quality ramblings sir. Thoroughly enjoyed that post.

Just as well you noticed that you'd missed that gate since you were headed for 'bad bog' ๐Ÿ™‚

Top piece of MTB writing Druidh.

Travel some of the old drove roads or coffin roads and you can feel the history as you go. There's a connection between you, the land and the folk who have used them for generations, [u]sometimes centuries.[/u]

For me, that's part of what it's about - e.g I always feel that way when on the South Downs.

Like others have said, I trust your head (if not your soul) is a better place now ...
