Lots of ๐Ÿ˜€ with a bit of 8) a few ๐Ÿ˜ณ moments and plenty of ๐Ÿ˜ฏ terrain to deal with. Stunning.

Still grinning.

If I'd known how monumentally CR*P the stretch Strath Mor was gonna be on the route back to Sligachan Hotel, I'd have turned around at Camasunary and rode back through the Cuillin again. Its THAT good.

Brilliant!

Did a wee driving tour with my girlfriend a month or so back, never understood the appeal of a Sligachan loop, would rather double back on myself then take the trail into Glen Brittle, or just stay at the pub then spend the night drunkenly freaking out at the WIERD bird noises in the campsite (it was a snipe). ๐Ÿ˜€

Ah! The hooley-hooley bird...

Good photos and much better weather than I've had for the past two days hillwalking in Glencoe and Glen Nevis.

Nice one...

If anyone's thinking of heading Skye-ward. The little loop up the north end of the island, around the Quiraing, is well worth the bit extra driving. It's only a 12km ish route, with half of that on road, but some of the best scenery I've encountered on a mountain bike.

Funny that you took almost identical photos to me!

And I wholly agree that the ride stops being fun as soon as you hit the road again after Camasunary.
