Ben Bhraggie ? And that monument is the Wee Mannie

 

[Binhill1]

Not often I ride on the road but this quiet single track road Torridon to Diabeg ticks a box for me. Last time I was here there was a fake pub they were making Loch Ness the movie , nowhere near loch Ness though. Went up Bein Alligin track as well . Ended up walking and Bivvying on summit of Beinn Damph been on my bucket list for many years to do that . Bike tracks up there as well major hike a bike that one ???? . Got a Brocken Spectre this morning on way down if you look carefully. For once the weather was as expected

Second pic in ...far right ...we had that holiday cottage about 5 years ago ..I also had my mtb on that trip and there is a trail that starts just beyond that cottage going off into the hills which is fantastic ..means throwing the bike over a deer fence ..but well worth the effort..small world
Edit : sorry the track I'm thinking of is at the very end of the road at Toscaig ..nr Applecross ..where we also stayed a few years back ..

Did you get up that nasty climb ok not long after that bridge ?

 

[Hobo Mikey]

Did you get up that nasty climb ok not long after that bridge ?

If your talking about the one after the sharp right hand blend and the exposed roots (nice in the wet) then yes I did. it was as dry as a bone today and that big root was shiny from everyone going over it.
I love the bit before the bridge with the small drop offs after the boardwalk.
If you get down that way give me a shout, would be good to hit the trails with someone other than talking to myself.

Yes good run on bike i did it once on a ordinary bike a fair climb back out .Was it number 1 the cottage ? the last one in the village . If it was that's the one that was made to look like a pub. Yes from Toscaig there's a track that goes to Oban bothy I paddled in there a few years ago and some lads tried it on fat bikes but had to ditch the bikes. The good old Deer fence a real challenge on a Ebike .

Yeah ..the ebike was just a twinkle in my eye back then ..might have been the SC Nomad at the time or the Whyte T130rs ..I will have to dig out some pics ..managed to lift the bike & hook it over the top of the fence ...then me through the gate and manoeuvre it down off the top without it killing me !
I absolutely love the North West Highlands ..one of my favourite places on the planet that I've visited ..

I've got a picture somewhere of the house as a pub somewhere I will try and source it . Yes I would be there three or four times a year mostly walking . Im in a club and they get club huts for the weekend cheap as chips a lot of them.

 

[Haveland]

Specialized SWAT tool to the rescue -- I wasn't sure if it came with quick links, but luckily it did. Fixed chain and back on the trail in minutes. Also a good reason to upgrade to a gold chain today

This would be mid 90s the bit we were standing at was all fake.We didn't know till we went round the back of it there was nothing there . Showed this a couple of years ago to my wife of many years. She said who's the lad in the middle , me .

I wouldn't say it was anywhere near the longest?
The new trail at Fort Bill or (not done it) Torridon?

My visit to Golspie, loved it.

 

[beanzz]

Just a sweet bit of single-track in my local woods

I need to get back there 2 hours from meFirish monument not far from there at Alness worth a look as well . Not technical like Golspie though.

I went for a ride to get a photo with a Cycling Memorial sculpture then thought I would stop by some other cool monuments


Also came across someones bike locked to a pole behind the beach lol....



Savages didn't even take the bell ! they did get the seatpost though
