September 30, 2025,South Ness Gravel Loop from Fort Augustus

A great, varied gravel ride from Fort Augustus, starting on the South Loch Ness Trail, then going through Glen Fechlin and along Loch Killin, up to Stronelairg Wind Farm and the Glendoe Hydro Reservoir, finishing with an amazing 10 km descent through Glen Doe back to Fort Augustus.
