The weather forecast looked good and me and Piers had a couple of days off, so the only rational thing to do was to head to Torridon.
I quickly realised that it was a bit too hot to try and do any of the bigger loops in the area, so we opted to do the Annat descent, with a little bit extra.
Somehow, this is the smoothest or least bumpy trail that you can ride in all the Torridon area, so if this looks too much for your ability, then perhaps Torridon is not the destination for you at this moment in time.

Andrew, you are fortunate to live where you do. That countryside is absolutely phenomenal!! Such peace and quiet, tranquility and beauty. And to ride there as well. Have you ever got lost out there? Who was operating the drone? I never want to hear you moaning about the country you ride over. Just think of us poor sassanachs down here in England. We have some lovely country as well, but nothing to match what you have. Soooo grateful for your vids. Brings us mortals a little bit closer to perfection! Thanks so much mate. You take care and enjoy yourself! Keep em comin.

Andrew, I feel so guilty for not having watched any of your videos for an extremely long time. I've always loved everywhere you go and think it's some of the most beautiful Terrain. I'm glad I checked in for this one because it's all open country. It was nice to hear you give some explanation regarding the sandstone and the translation of its name to redhead. I hope you're doing well in life, but a video like this says it all. Like myself I'm definitely at peace when I'm in the mountains.👍😎🐐🔥💪

Fantastic video of probably my number one favourite descent. You really did it justice. It's a good route around the back - a long continuous singletrack all the way back. I was stunned and surprised the first time I saw that amazing white cone of An Ruadh Stac. If it was a munro it would be more well known. When you started to descend from the bealach for a second I thought you were going down the other side towards the bothy. I'm glad you didn't. That would be a very bad idea. It's mostly steep rubble. The good Torridon paths are the best of anywhere. Stuff the mud and the roots. Flowy rock can't be beaten. Great video again that brings back the memories.
