Some amazing looking places on here. I really feel bad for never going to the highlands.

I know it's "only a trail centre" but I reckon Nant-Yr-Arian has some amazing views.

Nice one Messiah! Loving your work! 😆

<cough> Fairfield in the snow <cough>

The descent from Loch Bhac towards Blair Atholl is pretty special too especially on a winter's day in the snow.

The descent off of the Carn Gorm Horseshoe into Glen Lyon as the sun drops towards the horizon on a winter's day.

Looking down Jock's Road. There are others.........

I hate you, I hate you all 😈

Seriously though, some great pics and I'm massively jealous that I've never ridden any of these places.

rewski, yes, gap trail.

I know it does'nt look that "rad" but my first taste of bigger terrain.
So I enjoyed it a lot.
Seemed hard as nails for a first timer on my hardtail at the time.
Really enjoyed it, and riding stuff like that for a few days made my local trail centres feel pretty tame when i was back home afterwards.

Not the UK and no bike, but I would have loved to have ridden this:
