Do This Ride - / strava
Ben Lawers and Ben Ghlas provide some of the best mountain descents to be had in Scotland, so when Rob asked to do a mountain, it was a no brainer of a decision.
We somehow managed to get a good window of weather as well, which was an added bonus.

I’ve been following you for about two years Andrew and based on this and other recent videos your bike handling skills have improved massively. I can’t believe the hills you’re riding down! 😮👏👏👏👏

Fantastic scenery as usual. The dynamic between mtbers and hikers seems pretty chill in your neck of the woods. I can’t recall ever seeing a negative interaction in one of your vids……there must be something in the water. Thanks for the vid

Agreed same in N England. Usually at the solstice I have memories of many great summer rides and camping out in warm weather. Have none! One silver lining is I hope the usual winter lows/blues will not be so bad! I may enjoy winter more. Will see!

Another film of your adventures filmed superbly, putting your skill levels on show and the beauty of Scotland's wilderness and high peaks. Unfortunately I have to disagree with you re the ghosts having encountered one on a riverbank near Peterhead. In the early hours of a morning sea trout fishing, whereby to try and discount my eyes deceiving me and that of my fellow fisherman I poked my 10ft rod towards the apparition and it passed right through. We beat a hasty retreat and I never returned to that pool and found out later that was the reason why the old timers stayed clear also. Around that period I had another encounter with a ghost but it was my granny coming back to check on her young great grandson who woke up and started chatting to what he described as the lady in the corner who had met him once when he was 2 weeks old but he described exactly the type of clothes she used to wear i.e. a housecoat. That did not spook me at all but gave me great comfort unlike the encounter on the river. Enjoy the bothy I am sure it will be fine just don't go on your own.

Awesome video Andrew. Probably my favorite one yet! Going full time has certainly made a massive impact on your riding! Great to see you getting more and more comfortable with the super techy stuff. Also Kudo's for the responsible drone use up top, most people wouldn't have cared and stuck it in the air anyway 👍

Great video again, been following a while. What skills, it looks steep on GoPro so must be very! Love the scenery and peak spotting shots too. Can't wait to get back ro Scotland this summer (dont mention the midges!) but i think ill be hiking this one before biking it, many years skills progression for me, if i ever get that good I'd be super satisfied! But its inspiring seeing your rides and progress.

Great video as always and your endo skills are strong! I'm planning on doing this over the weekend if the weather plays ball, is it best done as an out and back or skirting round the bottom of Beinn Ghlas, from watching your vids you've done both? TIA
@bendenisereedy7865
@bendenisereedy7865 23 дня назад
Did we see you two doing this on 2 June '23? I biked down mountains on 26" wheel full rigids then hardtails from 1988 to 2009 before going over to the road so have never ridden a bike with 29" wheels but even if I owned one, my gonads certainly aren't large enough to ride that kind of stuff. One question though: isn't it easier to get off the back and ride down the grass? Lawers and Glen Lyon is my favourite ride but strictly on my climbing tarmac bike.

Are you using a Mini 4 Pro? Getting good results with that drone, I have one myself and I have had to glue the shoulder buttons to stop pressing them when I put the controller in my bag. I notice you seem to move the drone into different positions whilst still using Active Track. I use the sun visor to disable my joysticks…I notice you have removed yours. Would love to know any other tot bits of useful advice E you might have as I’m going to Moab in September and looking at doing some epic droning whilst there….although my videos are not a patch on yours.
@McTrailRider
@McTrailRider 23 дня назад
I’m using the Air 3, it seems to be the best for following at the moment. The mesh pocket of the inside of my backpack is the perfect size for the controller on its side, which helps me out a lot👍

@@McTrailRidercan I clarify that all the descent we see in this film (& others), you’ve climbed (with the bike obviously)? Hill climbing these mountains is hard enough. To ride, carry, push a bike up wearing bike shoes(!), and then have enough energy left to descend safely is just amazing.

Superb man - brilliant riding! I walked Ben Lawers a few yrs ago but not got the kahoonas or the skills to take a bike up it :-). Good work. I did the Ben Alder loop back in March, was awesome. The hike a bike after the 2nd Bothy was a bugger with an ebike and in the snow, but cracking single track.
