What a brilliant ride

Did this as part of a ride from Fort Bill to Corrour earlier this year (April), where we overnighted before heading out to Rannoch and onto Pitlochry. From Lagan we were into quite a brutal headwind all the way down to Loch Ossian, even having to pedal downhill into Strath Ossian! The bonus was the food at the station cafe. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant Al, definitely want to do that now-thx for showing it all

That was a great watch and so well filmed! Brought back memories of doing the Badger Divide earlier this summer and one of my favourite sections! Subscribed! 🙂

Looks happier than mine lol

Wow those drone shots. Classic Scottish remoteness but with the comfort of the gravel trail under the wheels - perfect!

Lovely route and I hope that you enjoyed it, thank you for the ideas and inspiration for future rides for myself👍

Great video! I love that ride ❤️

Probably my favourite place to go on the bike. Just back from there a few weeks ago 👍

Good to see the return of twisty trails !!

Great video of a lovely area Alan, and what weather you had 🚲🙂👍

Thanks for sharing the route! I was wondering how this ride was down to Loch Ossian as I have several Munro tops to ascend from the East end of the loch.

I rode Corrour to Laggan in July, started in Killin. After dinner & beers at Corrour I had the pleasure of a brisk tailwind all the way to Laggan, camped on the beach with zero midges. Got to be up there with the best gravel section in the entire UK.

Beautiful trip. Nice to see you back 👍

Thank you for sharing a beautiful ride

Thank you so much for your brilliant video. I have just got back from doing the same route with my son. It was a stunning ride, packed full of incredible views and free flowing descents. We’re looking forward to doing another one of your recommended rides at the weekend. Thanks for sharing 👍

Wow to see those healthy ancient scots pines so far up and isolated was stunning. Im talkin about half way to loch einich, the river shot you captured. Thanks for these anazing videos you make.

Would I have seen you cycling through Inverness yesterday? Damfield rd area..

I've watched a few of your films recently, Alan. I watch on RUclips on my TV which does not allow commenting, but your mention of calf injuries resonated with me, as that is what also drove me to the bike, and this time to the computer to post this comment. Although I miss the simplicity of lacing up a pair of shoes compared with the faff of getting a bike ready, bikes are a gateway to much larger adventures, and in your case, give the ability to showcase much wider areas of our beautiful countryside more easily than would be possible on foot. It makes me want to get the knobbly tyres blown up and get there! Looks like you had some great weather, too. For any potential tourists reading this, Scotland's weather is like this all summer, and any reports of rain are lies propagated by jealous people who live in less pretty places😉 BTW I like your camerawork. Some interesting angles and long continuous shots that start out as one thing and end up as another. And the shots taken up to and through the bars of gates remind me of the cinematography in some of the amazing scenes in Contact (1997), which I think was Weta. Inspired or original, it's great work and must have taken a lot of extra time out on the trail, when you probably really just want to keep pedalling. The time and effort is appreciated, mate. 👍

I'm loving your videos Alan. As a roadie myself I'm thinking about swapping over to Gravel. Do you have any recommendations for which gravel bike to go for? Nothing expensive 😂

Impressive camera work. Using just the insta 360 or is there some drone footage ?

Just started watching your vidoes today. Brilliant filming, excelleny route with informative comentary - thanks

Hi brill vid, I’m a beginner and saw you take a few lefts and rights where there were no signs….how do I know what way to go if I’m not familiar with area…thanks Drew

Nice! I lived in Aberdeen for 14 years before returning to the central belt and taking up cycling more seriously. I have no major desire to revisit that part of Scotland (simply because there are so many other parts I haven't explored yet) but there is so much great riding on offer - on and off road - that I feel like I have a ton of unfinished business up there.

I don’t get the gravel bike thing, a good hardtail mtb is versatile

Alan, just came across your channel whilst looking for some inspiration! been wanting to dabble more in cycling and this type of route is what I am after! a great wee video, a great resource and hopefully something I will be trying this year! Thanks mate! Thumbs up and new Sub! Fantastic. Paul

Great video. Stop giving away the local secrets😂. I’ve not ridden the findhorn and divie on the gravel bike yet. Might wait for a drier day than you had. Good effort on the rocky sections on the upper divie. It’s probably my favourite local trail, coming down the way

Hi there , do you know if there is a komoot route for this, great video

Mad that you've done all these trips without tubeless. I could never go back to inner tubes now.

Do I know you? 🤔 😅

I wish I'd seen this video last summer before my trip to Aviemore. Oh well another route to add to the list if I make it back up this year.

Super video Alan, I hope to ride this route soon.

Just started watching your videos, very enjoyable indeed. Have done many road miles on two wheels over my life with peddled and the engine version! Now attracted to gravel miles, I wonder how easy it is to convert my road touring bike which is like new, despite being 18 years old. Excellent video’s 👏👏

Hi, I'm passing through avimore this next week and reckon I'll do this route, is there a link to it? Cheers Tony🍻👍

Lovely 😊

Great route always will definitely try it this summer. Are the road sections busy??

I'm going back over your videos and viewing new ones because we're heading up that way in May. Really enjoy them, thanks very much.

Great work. The kayakers had it easy did they? Findhorn Gorge runs at Grade 5 IIRC and is inescapable once entered. Many of the drops have to be run blind and unprotected. Not that easy. 😉

Excellent video. Glen Gairn is a real beauty and the track is superb. More like this please Alan.

What a beautiful trail. We couple would like to be there for the cycling . Would there be information like trail map for share ? Tons of friend

Great vid! I like that the route would be good for beginners as that’s me 😊

Great video buddy, looked amazing! What shoes are you wearing in this vid? Are they Shimano ME…something? I’m looking for a new pair that are comfy to ride in as we as walk when needed!

Brilliant video. Great scenery 👌

Beautiful video and very inspiring, great motivation for some rides over summer (although the brake noises! I wish the manufacturers could figure out a solution to wet brakes 😭)

I really enjoyed watching this, great video! You really gave the beautiful scenery justice with your serene edit.

One question - why didn't you circumnavigate Loch Muick? Is there a bad section?

Just gotta love a wrong turn - always adds to the adventure 😄. Nice upload, thanks 👍🏼

Looks an excellent route and very well filmed - thanks for sharing. It’s on this year’s list now.

An excellent bit of filming, as usual. Thanks!

Looked at this route in the book it looks lovely. There’s nothing on any of the apps re drone flying at Corgarff Castle no doubt they have put that up themselves. It’s a place I want to get back to as there’s a road up past the castle that takes you to some beautiful pools in the river Avon. Tried to do it one day from Aviemore but had to turn back due to horrendous conditions over the Lecht so it’s on my to do list.
