Gravel Cycling The Stunning Beinn A’ Ghlo Loop

[@freeforester1717]

‘fee-laar’👍🏻 flew my paramotor from home in NE Scotland to Kinloch Rannoch one long Good Friday in the early 2000’s, stooping for fuel at Roughpark Strathdon, Braemar for a top up, over the empty quarter via Fealar, and down Glen tilt for picnic lunch above Athol at the Loch there. Around 4-30 I headed up again and over the quarry and along Loch Tummel, and over the top of Schiehallion, descending down to Bunrannoch. Looked like a freshly cooked Lobster that eve, but a great experience, I remember seeing the hill walkers on both Ben-y-ghlo and Schiehalion, it was an azure day, red letter for myself. Glad you had good weather for your jaunt!

Another fabulous film. ❤️

Great aerial shots of Loch loch! I’ve walked past Fealar Lodge back in 1989 when we crossed the Cairngorms one summer. The occupants were playing tennis on a makeshift tennis court which sat at an usual angle! We walked down to the Falls of Tarf, and then up to the hills beyond. Glen Tilt is a magnificent cycle ride. The last time we were there, they were filming Star Wars! Thanks for sharing.

Some pretty remote and rugged country there, some of it more suited to a mountain bike as others have said. This vid shows the limitations of a gravel bike on more broken terrain. If you are into geology you'd enjoy the Berwickshire Coastal Path - it runs close to Hutton's Unconformity near Cockburnspath.

Super episode. Glad to see you have regained your mastery of Scottish weather after the Gravelfoyle washout. 😎

Well done Rusty. I did this 3 years ago on a mountain bike clockwise which is easier as you gradually gain height up glen tilt and the last miles are down hill to the car. it took me and my pal 10 hours its harder than you think .thanks for another beautiful video of one of scotlands most beautiful glens. I was 70 at the time.

Incredible thanks!

[@docspuddin]

Stunning thanks Rusty Do you have a link to the gpx please ? I can see a road trip happening

[@PinnedonPlaces]

This was great to follow along and watch, what a scenic and gorgeous ride! Loved seeing the mountain landscapes on your drone, some amazing terrain too! Glad to have watched your journey :D

[@alexpaterson1300]

Nice drone shots great scenery, Done this route last February on the MTB and loved it, Looking forward to your next ride already

[@Full_on_gravel]

Great video, drone shots look amazing. I did a similar route last year and really enjoyed it, Glen Tilt section from the falls to Blair Atholl was awesome, great fun. Looks like you got a great day for it ☀️, new Endura helmet looks very cool 😎

[@kevlow2295]

I did that a few years ago on the mtb. It's a great ride in stunning scenery. Wouldn't do it on the gravel bike though. Fealar lodge from Pitlochry then down Tilt and back to Pitlochry along the cycle path could be an option. Nice drone shots, the hills look amazing covered in purple heather.👍

New subscriber here. Great vid. I wildcamped on the very spot you sat at loch loch. Stunning area. ATB Tam

[@RustyRidesGravel]

That must have been amazing to camp there! Thanks for joining up, I look forward to hearing about your adventures and thoughts on the places I go. I love hearing people's adventures and what advice they have from their experiences.

[@theaberdonian8588]

Fantastic scenery and drone shots. Might do an out and back to the falls.

[@RustyRidesGravel]

It's a great glen to ride through, should be a great cycle if you do it 👍

[@jamesrichardson3810]

i did this route round loch loch on my mountain bike there is know path just sheep paths, go the route on your map, grat cycle though.

[@SwampyDuckRidesAgain]

Just such a beautiful route, fancy it but not all that walking. I find it easier to cycle than walk but that did look steep on camera. Might do an out and back on the beginning and end.

[@grahamelliott6041]

Is your surname Trombone ?

[@RustyRidesGravel]

I don't get it...

[@robertmacleod6221]

I've been watching your channel great stuff but the music nips my heed

[@RustyRidesGravel]

Watch on mute I guess. Won't ever be just the audio from the ride. Too much wind noise
