    This was my backyard for 10 years, stunning place to live and ride. Amazing to see all the new trails coming out and Aberdeenshire finally being recognised for the world class riding it has. The descent straight south off Mither Tap is a tech masterpiece followed by the walkers path that heads south off the top of Millstone.

    You sure put yourself through it Jamie, that looked like a proper workout. The granite slab descent would have seen me off through nervous energy alone. Great vid as ever man, good to speak to you in the hill yesterday too 🤙
