Hard climb earn your turns

If riding down loose shale and boulders is your thing then you'll love the trails here. If not please stay clear. Basically riding down badly eroded stalkers paths behind the town of Kinlochleven

Good points:

Very techy requiring a high level of concentration and skill

Bad points:

The climb is tough ... Very tough ...

Would you recommend?

yes

Kinlochleven - how has this got 0 reviews?

Every MTBer should do the Ciaran path - thats it - go do it.

Good points:

Some of the best natural riding there is - the Ciaran path is THE definition of mountain biking. Often linked in with Devils staircase. On the Ben Nevis side there are some awesome rocky descents with fantastic views - these are used in the Dudes of Hazard Enduro for the past few years they are awesome - over 1000ft of natural descent.

Bad points:

Over 5 hours away

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
