Overview

This bike/hike is only suitable for mountain bikes as some of the track is quite rough. Very bike-able though. There are a couple of stream crossings en route and we also pass under the West Highland Railway viaduct. The hike is short but steep, leading to the summit where we should have great views. The return route off the hill can include the Top, Beinn a'Chuirn, time and weather permitting. The return cycle is as per the outward route. Pre-registration is required to allow for the co-ordination of the bike transport. Please email dianemackie74@yahoo.co.uk or text on 07769 263872to register before 9pm on Sunday so that bike transport can be arranged.
