After a successful day on Athol hill the day before, me and Piers decided to try and find some new (to us) trails over on the Hermitage hill just across the glen.
We made some very nice discovery‘s indeed, and will be coming back for more in the future. All top off with a nice swim in the river to cool down at the end of the day👌

Epic! Kudos to Piers on hitting that wee cliff! Swim at the end too - great way to end the ride!

Fair play on the tough line on Life Insurance. Was a little slippy when I was there and I couldn't bring myself to do it, just couldn't stop looking at the drop off the edge 🤣

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Not sure how I’d get on if it’s wet to be fair😬

@cb6866 3 года назад

Wow Andrew...that was great . Quite a beautiful spot after , thank you for sharing .

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Really nice wee spot in there, especially for swimming 👌

@deepwoodguy2 3 года назад

I am really amazed that you can even see the bike trail when you go thru the forest area, the ground color looks all the same... Nothing like a freezing swim after a hard bumpy ride on those trails...thanks, really enjoy your vids...USA here... 😎😎😎

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

It was definitely a bit of an issue on this one, especially because the ground was so dry.

@A_AAA232 3 года назад

great riding on what looked like some tough trails - big skills again mate - that swim at the end though...you nutters :) ride on

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

It would have been rude not to go for a swim 😜

@ShitStefanShoots 3 года назад

I like those forest vids of yours - they are closer to what I know. The highlands / munroes are spectacular, but they all look a bit alike.

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

That’s fair, although some of the mountains are quite unique. I thought these woods looked great on camera👌

@stephenkesterton5165 3 года назад

Great ride on Life Insurance. I once tried Extra Cover and Life Insurance in the wet and it was WILD; there was no way I was going down that shute; but will be back for a go sometime in the dry.

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

I suspect it’s a much more difficult in the wet. I’m glad it was dry for me👍

@boringuserhandle 3 года назад

No video can do that chute justice. It is properly high consequence!

Some skilled riding there Andy, especially that double take on the steep techy section, been there years ago wandering and always wondered about that trail at Pinecone Viewpoint, you're brave doing that swim at the end looked cold 😂 cheers for sharing 😁🚵👍

Thanks Gary, the viewpoint was pretty cool 👍

Enjoyed this one (after falling off this weekend and smashing up my bike (and me) in the Forest of Dean your vids are going to be even more useful escapism although looked quite hairy around 11.50.).

Not so good man 🙁 Hope your all good soon🤞

@blink182. 3 года назад

i love the hermitage, its my favourite side of dunkeld. life insurance is the way to go.

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

That’s the one I did, just off the view point?

@blink182. 3 года назад

@@McTrailRider yeah, its such a good trail. or though, i have only ever done it in the pissing wet, and that first feature has always gotten the better of me.

@seanguild6528 3 года назад

on the enduro we pushed up the path you went down towards the a9 🤙🏻

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

Yeah, we realised and said that at the bottom in the video. Was good fun though👍

@willienillie6337 3 года назад

Those trees have all sorts of branches sticking out like spikes. Hate when a tree jumps out in front of you. I seen it in other videos. These are the treebear species.

@ltrtg13 3 года назад

As where I live in the West Midlands only has pimples, canals and old disused railway lines. What sort of travel do you think would suitable when I finally get the chance to drag a mountain bike kicking and screaming to Scotland?

@McTrailRider 3 года назад

I wouldn’t stress over suspension travel to be honest. It’s more of a factor for speed than it is for terrain in my opinion.
