Been meaning to do this one for some time and had heard great things about it. I've ridden quite a few of the trails in and around Loch Muick and really enjoyed them, so thought it was about time I hit the big one.
Lochnagar, as you will see, is quite a spectacular mountain up the top, which I did expect. What I didn't expect to be as spectacular was the waterfall over looking Glas-allt-Shiel (the Queen's house) that was a pleasant surprise.
This ride is a hard one to recommend to the masses, I'd only hit it if you are very comfortable with chunky awkward terrain.

After one successful and two not so successful (video wise) trips to Aberfeldy, I decided to go back once again and try to capture some of the trails that I hadn't managed to film previously.
This place has genuinely become my favoured go-to, as it's relatively easy to get to, has a good mix of very well built trails and is in a beautiful setting to boot👌
