Not much signs of a track here. I had to wheel the bike most of the way. Beside a loch, rough, ankle snapping rock surface. Be careful.

Started on the Great Glen way which has some steep sections but all on good paths. At the top, you are rewarded with spectacular views. The descent was great fun on twisty single-track. We looped back on generally decent gravel apart from a section alongside Loch ma Starc which is challenging. A good route
