Yes thats the one in amongst trees. Excellent weather I did Starav yet again yesterday but only that . Been the late 80s first time I did it and another couple hills as well and again 90s . Last time defo. Etive Slabs never climbed there. I was always a seconder never lead. Great area though.
The last post today I promise. Heading home today so one lap of Laggan Wolftrax there's an enduro race on there this weekend. Added a couple new trails latest just opened Easter. Some knarly bits and I only did the Red . They were setting the tapes up when I approched Ayers rock not sure if they...
That's the one I was staying at Inbhirfhaolain try spellling that after a few drams . Glen Etive is heaving nowadays it's a wild campers dream come true. Aye that lad Bond and the wifie Dench have a lot to answer for.
Yes Ben Starav is the view out the back door . I walked that yesterday hard going. No mod cons outside toilet water from the burn but at £7 : 50 a night 🤔 . Got it all to myself as well.
Very busy at Glencoe area a wild campers dream location. For all people going to FT William downhill. Take care its a narrow road considering its a trunk road. In My walk of shame pushing bike along it I seen the amount of mirrors on the verge. Left hand cars , campers and lorries seem to love...
Started off good . Got 2 miles in and just heading up Devils Staircase twig in derailleur yet again game over for today. Popped in to Glencoe mountain ski place and the bike hire guy trying to fit one from his bike to mine. Hopefully it works . All good top marks for Callum at the bike hire place.
Could I get that in writing please. I liken them to Jellyfish 🪼 when they first come on the go they don't seem to have a bite or a sting and just before they disappear the bite goes out of them maybe September ish. Saying that I remember being at ft William downhill and walking up the track I...
Stand still for more than 30 seconds and the midge sniff you out so probably safer at the bottom right enough. I was there the first time it was held there, can't remember when that was though. Rob Warner would have been one of the favourites if i remember. It would be absolutely heaving...
Uk been very wet this winter going by everyone on here and maybe even globally ? . Only dry run I had in past 2 months was at Tarland trails it was great.
I cant comment on either brands. I've had hope brakes for so long now I can't remember what shimano was like . At least 15 years using hope with no real issues . As long as your pleased with what you have that's all that counts.
Amazing how you get half a ride dry and then splurge the last mile your clartit in mud , I give up. Planning a trip to Glencoe area next week supposed to be dry with that High they keep on about.
Always take my Alpkit jetboil type stove on longer rides in winter so my cupasoup is piping hot. It's lighter than a thermos. It had a problem and wasn't working so after a mishap yesterday I had to get a wee Vango stove . It fits in to what I have left of Brukit so it's all OK. Nobody hurt or...
