I use to run up there. Amazing video and effort.

this looks awesome!

Memories, alps trip next year sir?!

what means Glas Alt Shiel Lochnagar

Great job, looking forward to doing this.

Amazing, what kind of bike is that?

Rapido!

It's ne'er oldmeldrum

Nice vid :) im quite new to MTBing but head out to Scolty quite often. I dont yet have the confidence to do the rocky DH parts but ill get there at some point :)

THAT WAS INSANE!!

Wow. This is awesome! Good job!

What is this trail called and how do you get here? I'm from aberdeen and was going to take the train to insch or bus to pitcable..

Man this is really good.

pretty much ride it all up to dubh loch but then about an hour of pushing up a fairly steep section and over roughish ground until you pick up path from Carn Bannoch you can ride most of it up over carn coire boidenach onto lochnagar.A wee push up the last bit. Wouldn't recommend this route without the usual mountain gear map and compass. Its a great fun descent. A couple of bits on the ladder down to the col at meikle pap are probably doable but I got off just to be on the safe side.

You seem to have cheeted a bit on teh framerate... OR you should work on your stamina with such a high rate of breath. Btw, passing pedestrians at that speed is NOT DONE. You will get us social riders banned.

This bugger's aff his heed!!!

What a twat. This path is for all to use. Riding like that will get us all banned from using the hill. If you want to go nuts head to pitfichie. I have been riding bennachie for years and in the last 3 i have started getting hassle. Wise up for gods sake before someone gets hurt

show this to wayne blair! and prepare for a SLAP! good vid though :)

@tomzsk8 nah its a red. Cracking run though. Was on it again last Friday and it was in excellent condition.

@scotch26 we did the circuit from Aboyne. Up the fungle road and then dropped down to birse castle and over to Tarfside along to the queens and up Mount keen. The descent down the glen tannar side is a bit rough at the top but doable and then a long fire track out of glentannar. Took us about 7 hours. If you go on the ecurrieneeps site they have it done in reverse. Would probably do it that direction next time as the descents are on better tracks.

@watcheternalonline I would say it would be a straight forward walk on good track. Popular place for walkers. Its reasonably hard work cycling up but well worth it for the descent!

great video, very helpful as i was hoping to climb the mountain soon, is it hard work taking a bike up there? cheers

Locked out wire operated disc brakes. Hydraulic brakes stop that happening again. See the skid mark, heading straight for that boulder.... Bloody sore knee after that.

Its a right of way track from Aboyne to glenesk. It can be done as a circuit starting at aboyne and heading up the firmouth and then returning by the fungle

where is this
