I'm staying in Kincraig and I've got my gravel bike with me. I went out today down Glen Feshie and looped back round the west of Creag Dubh, the gravel track I was on heading SW on South of Aonach Mor (NN 81936 94265) seemed still quite substantial when I turned off to head North again. I was just wondering if anyone had ridden this track and dropped in to Gleann Chomhraig? and is it gravel bikable (enjoyably ;))

It can be done with about 1.2km of boggy quad track to complete the loop.

I rode it on 2.1" 29er tyres earlier this year and only had to walk 250m or so - it was quite a bit drier then though. IMHO it's better heading from Gleann Chomraig towards Coire Fhearnasdail. The track ap Gleann Chomraig isn't the one shown on the OS Map - check OpenStreetMap/Komoot etc to see the new line. I also added the link path between the two glens so it's all on there and easy to follow now.

Thanks! I almost wrote paging scotroutes in the OP! The OS maps seem pretty out of date, the Coire Fhearnasdail gravel tracks were very nice but don't feature at all on OS, they didnt look that new either!

You can add them on openstreetmap and then they'll show up on the various route planning sites and apps that use the OSM mapping layer
