Most of my big mountain stuff is in Europe and you've seen all of them anyway! I saw BikeVerbier put some of mine up as their banners 🙂 Here's some Coniston shots from 2010 - the last reasonably big mountain ride I did in the UK actually

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

How are things? I'm having to work another weekend but should be able to get out for 3 hours' riding on Saturday morning.

These are outside the terms of this thread...I've recently stopped using digital and picked up an old school SLR...was getting frustrated with mediocrity of my digital shots...looking forward to using this thing in a big-mountain situation.

These are all just from rides with Nirvana Cycles or in one case Commercial Road car park (best place in London to practice wheelies!) - definitely not big-mountain

Nothing much new from me this year... it's been a bit sh!t for various reasons.

Not UK but very awesome big mountain.

Thanks! Lomo redscale film, no filters. If you set it at about ISO 25, it brings out blues and oranges really well (but need lots of light obvs) - if you set it at ISO 200 it looks all red and post-apocalyptic. Fun to play with.

Some suspiciously large-looking UK mountains above!

I haven't taken the camera out much lately but here is a sunny day on Cader Idris last year...

What is the big one on the last picture where you are pushing up?

Messiah

Is that the Gorms? looks very Gorms like to me.

ir- bandito

Where is the second picture taken? looks ace!

Captain

I wonder who took that pic of the descent off Ben Lawers - Ha! Ha!

Cheers

I've never done a 'proper' mountain in the UK. Which I can't quite believe myself. 2012 needs to change that. Multiple times...

Hi Graeme

That looks ace!

I've still to do that ride. Got a moster from Ambleside to Keswick planned that will take a good 12 to 14 hours for the Spring.

ir-bandito

Nan Bield right enough. Not used to seeing it from that angle.

Loving all the pics guys.

Sgurr Goath and Carn Ban Mor if I'm not mistaken? Nice pics there fella. Any of the descent of Sgorr Goath? I like how you rode up the main descent path. Far more fun than the landy track the next valley up.

Correct, the path from CBM to Sgor Gaoith is fine, easy riding but not very interesting. The view from Sgor Gaoith is proper braw.

Messiah

Is that the Gorms? looks very Gorms like to me


I'll chime in on that. It's looking up towards Ben MacDui from the top of the Sron Riach ridge. Don't think it's the gig this year as Messiah was leading at that point. (And every other point for that matter)

The view from Sgor Gaoith is proper braw

Sure is

Sanny,

Your correct the first one is Torridon. The last one is the climb up Ben Wyvis

Stay at the youth hostel at glen affric, then push up the valley through the bog. Worth it tho - one of the best descents in the UK I reckon.

stevenmuir, firstly that picture at the top of the descent to Loch Muick is awesome.

Those Ben Alder pics - how rideable is it down to the bothy, and what route did you take? I think the normal anticlockwise circuit would have you climbing that?

You're right. I attempted to walk up the river as the ground next to it was a bit soft, but with rocks the size of old minis and greasy to boot, it wasn't much better. But I thought it'd make a good pic to try and ride down some of it, it was also good to take a break from the hour of hike a bike. I wouldn't attempt it clockwise. Even if I wanted to do a descent from Beallach Dubh to Culra I'd probably do it as a there and back. I don't think you'd ride much from Culra to Ben Alder cottage.

Ben Ledi, not a big mountain technically but a lot of up and down in a short time and very accessible.
