Glen Affric Recce Ride - Jan 2022 

Thanks Dave. The place where the house is just keeps getting better the more I discover in the area. Love it !!

Eileen Donan Castle is a place I've always wanted to visit after watching the film Highlander. It would be more accessible from Drumnadrochit. Enjoy.

Will have to see what is available that i can plan for. Will probably be a car based trip and see about cycling after that. Looks so peaceful.

I do actually have warmer gloves than what I wore. I just didnt expect it to be so cold. The thing is with those e bikes is that you are always moving a bit quicker than a normal cycle and actually get a bit of a wind chill factor like on a motor bike. Keeps you nice and cool in summer but bloody cold in witer. lol!!

The bit I cycled was definitely good for a gravel bike. From what i understand though the bit around the Youth Hostel is more single track for about 3-4 miles and not good for gravel bikes. I have now organised a circular trip in June, to go from Drumnadrochit along the Affric Kintail way, back to Fort Augustas and then back on the Great Glen Way. I will be doing a full video of this and will also give you the full details of the state of the track when we have completed it. Thanks for your comments :-)

@@SimplyCyclingtoursandrides Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated. I was thinking of taking the trail you took on the south side of Beinn a Mheadhoin as far as the west side on the loch (waterfalls there and picnic area?) then back along the road on the north side. Sounds like a great trip you have planned in June. Will watch out for your video with interest! All the best 😊
