You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I did a cracker of a ride yesterday up Beinn a Ghlo. 3 munros along the ridge heading from east to west with a wonderfully steep and loose descent off Carn Liath at the end of the ride. A true Scottish mountain bike classic with the quality of the trails and views more than making up for the initially tough hike a bike. It’s been one of those rides I’ve been looking at for years and despite the at times drizzily weather we had, it was a terrific day out on the hills – not an epic but a great day out none the less. A ride for the hike a bike afficianado for sure and definitely one to return to on a fine summer's day.
Anyhoos, while we were up, we spotted a Land Rover track and singletrack descent up to and off the munro Carn a Chlamain dropping down into Glen Tilt. It looks like a relatively easy to bag a munro with the reward of a singletrack descent off the summit. Has anyone ridden this? The map promises good things and from looking accross the valley, I reckon the singletrack has the potential for greatness. It’s now on the radar as a shorter day out but I’d be keen to hear from anyone who has done it. It could be linked up to a Glen Tilt circuit to make for a bigger day out.
Cheers

Theres a few photos on [url= http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2402918 ]Geograph[/url] which look alright. Go ride it and report back!
If anyone has pics, that would be great. I've found one of the stalkers path and it looks very promising indeed.
looks inteesting on google maps satellite view as well
Cheers for that. The track down looks promising. The plan is to do it. If anyone else has done it or looked at it, I'm keen to read their thoughts.
remember your anti erosion hover bike sanny 😉
a mate has done it and says it's not worth it.
Landy track is maily large boulders and a lot of it is not ridable.
Descent isn't too cracking either.
And this is a guy who rides the highlands a lot.
I find 4" tyres do the best skids.
