Mountain Biking.



What a fortnight of activity. I need a day off today (Monday 2nd April).

This is me sitting at the foot of Sluggan Pass, having taken the route from Nethybridge to Glenmore and returning via Sluggan, and then over to Boat of Garten to see the newly returned Ospreys (none in sight!). It turned warm and sunny and Jo and I stopped for a drink in this quiet spot before we joined the road again.

I was really pleased that my confidence is growing on the rough off road tracks and it is great to cover the ground so quickly. Sclotland is great for off road biking as many shooters tracks and forestry tracks take you deep into the mountains. There is open access so you are allowed to go where you like but deer fences, even with stiles, can present challenges to the biker and the dog walker! These fences are probably 15 foot high. No problems on this route though.
