‘lo folks, I’m taking the Mrs away for an Easter break to ride some sweet, sweet, trails in Scotland and wanted to gain some insight from the ever-helpful and only occasionally-trollful, STW massive.
4 days, not silly amount of driving (as I’ll be the only driver of the van). We are borrowing a camper so we have a little bif of flexibility.
I was going to skip of any of the 7 Stanes as they’re all do-able as a day/weekend trip from the NE anyway.
I had originally planned to get up as far as Torridon, but I think that’s been put on the back burner for another time.
Assuming we get as far as Glasvegas on Thursday we have 4 full days to play with.
Kinlochleven – Ciaran Path, lots of other trails
I’m assuming all the better/longer/DH Ft Bill trails will be under snow?
Laggan
What else is worth throwing in? Priority is for fun, challenging stuff. Steep, rocks, roots = 😀
I’m also keeping an eye on this thread

but I’m bearing in mind most of my plans for Easter will have to be slightly low-level to avoid being stuck in snow! we’d consider taking ski touring kit, but neither of us have any Scottish backcountry experience.
