Any suggestions for routes in the area between Oban and Lochgilphead? Heading up that way for the bank holiday. Cheers
MTB routes are scattered unfortunately.
I think a loop of Kerrera can be fun, more for the novelty factor.
The famous 'Leacann Muir' route can be started and finished from Ford, a bit south from Oban. It's considered a classic but can be very wet. Read up on it before you go!
Ask on Oban cycling club Facebook's page
I got shown round by some locals... mucho fun
Pop into Crinan Cycles in Lochgilphead.
Kevin, the owner will give you a map of the 'Firetower Trail', which is in the forest behind the town. Quiet compared to Tweed Valley/ 7 Stanes trails and lots of fun. Should be fairly dry as the weather has been pretty good for the last fortnight.
The 'Leacainn Muir' trail as mentioned is known locally as 'Auchendrain'. It's not a drain at all as it holds a hell of a lot of water during bad weather.
Take the advice of the previous poster as quite a few folk have ended up calling Mountain Rescue. There is a great wee shelter called Carron Bothy half way round for a piece stop.
Lots of other options on forest tracks around Lochgilphead. You might be able to join a few guys heading out on Sunday.
Enjoy and hope you have a good time.
Unless the firetower has been reworked,it's the only trail centre I've ever rode that's worse than carron valley.
Auchindrain was a classic, but a few trusty folks have said it's shite now.
Caution bimbler content
As bimblers we love the crinan canal esp crinan end and also did the faerie loop - tracks all the way , not tried the others
Lots of good road/gravel loops in the area if you're so inclined?
