[@angellnathan]

Top video mate. Really enjoyed that. Thanks for all your hard work on the videos.

[@McTrailRider]

Thanks dude, good to know the work is appreciated 😊

[@BikingVikingMTB]

I totally agree with ya mate 🤟

[@Mugtree]

As always. Amazing video and riding. The number of times I drive past Dunkeld and never stop 🤦. Won’t again. Thank you

[@McTrailRider]

So much there for you to discover! Get it done👍

[@Mugtree]

@@McTrailRider definitely and thank you for letting know about all these fantastic places 👍

[@camperp195]

Thing i love is when you are talking,its so quiet there,so peaceful,proper wilderness

[@McTrailRider]

Can’t beat the silence 👌

[@Thepoeticmtbr_The_poetic_mtbr]

Another fantastic vid, quality and content always leave me with the utmost respect for what your doing. Your now ready for the next adventure, Canadian trails 😉

[@McTrailRider]

I’m sure I’ll get out there soon enough, very keen to anyway 👍

[@alaninman4474]

Fair play on the tough line on Life Insurance. Was a little slippy when I was there and I couldn't bring myself to do it, just couldn't stop looking at the drop off the edge 🤣

[@McTrailRider]

Not sure how I’d get on if it’s wet to be fair😬

[@stephenkesterton5165]

Great ride on Life Insurance. I once tried Extra Cover and Life Insurance in the wet and it was WILD; there was no way I was going down that shute; but will be back for a go sometime in the dry.

[@McTrailRider]

I suspect it’s a much more difficult in the wet. I’m glad it was dry for me👍

[@boringuserhandle]

No video can do that chute justice. It is properly high consequence!

[@taffycymroukmtb9073]

Great stuff buddy 👌 enjoyed the video 😉👌🚴🚴

[@McTrailRider]

Thanks Taffy

[@deepwoodguy2]

I am really amazed that you can even see the bike trail when you go thru the forest area, the ground color looks all the same... Nothing like a freezing swim after a hard bumpy ride on those trails...thanks, really enjoy your vids...USA here... 😎😎😎

[@McTrailRider]

It was definitely a bit of an issue on this one, especially because the ground was so dry.

[@storegga]

super riding guys ! not seen a lot o folk film these trails nice to have you recce it!! put a cuppie on and chill out watching this :D

[@McTrailRider]

Surprisingly few videos from here right enough.

[@garioch_gravel_rider7376]

Epic! Kudos to Piers on hitting that wee cliff! Swim at the end too - great way to end the ride!

[@McTrailRider]

Piers just keeps upping his game 👍

[@MTBScotland]

niiiiiice - never seen those trails on video before. They looked sweet as.

[@McTrailRider]

So many great trails over there 👌

[@MTBScotland]

@@McTrailRider will need to take the eldest there

[@DizRidesMtb]

[@McTrailRider]

[@DizRidesMtb]

@@McTrailRider NPS dude. Thanks to u both 😊

[@A_AAA232]

great riding on what looked like some tough trails - big skills again mate - that swim at the end though...you nutters :) ride on

[@McTrailRider]

It would have been rude not to go for a swim 😜

[@tobyehillier]

Living the dream! 🤟🏼

[@McTrailRider]

Only feels it when it’s Sunny though 😜

[@cb6866]

Wow Andrew...that was great . Quite a beautiful spot after , thank you for sharing .

[@McTrailRider]

Really nice wee spot in there, especially for swimming 👌

[@ShitStefanShoots]

I like those forest vids of yours - they are closer to what I know. The highlands / munroes are spectacular, but they all look a bit alike.

[@McTrailRider]

That’s fair, although some of the mountains are quite unique. I thought these woods looked great on camera👌

[@iainanderson5881]

Love your videos mate !

[@McTrailRider]

Thanks Iain 👍

[@steveeast1050]

great tracks, a good test for rider, bike and camera!!! well done

[@McTrailRider]

Thanks Steve 👍

[@1978jabbo]

Good work Piers, promoting rival KZbin channels.

[@McTrailRider]

They need all the help they can get 😜

[@sarcritchlow]

Nice way to finish after the quality trails 🤙

[@McTrailRider]

The best way 👍

[@Doogiehowzer]

Some spicy trails there , looked ace ! Another cracking edit 🤘

[@McTrailRider]

Thanks dude

[@mjbbell]

I helped work on the last couple of corners @3:45 when I went to the trail conference in 2019.

[@garyalexander3281]

Some skilled riding there Andy, especially that double take on the steep techy section, been there years ago wandering and always wondered about that trail at Pinecone Viewpoint, you're brave doing that swim at the end looked cold 😂 cheers for sharing 😁🚵👍

[@McTrailRider]

Thanks Gary, the viewpoint was pretty cool 👍

[@ferfernando593]

Great way to finish the ride!

[@McTrailRider]

Best way 👍

[@MartyFaeScotland]

Class m8!... & the wee swim at the end was well deserved! ;)

[@McTrailRider]

The swim felt great, if not a bit cold 🥶

[@richardeljay]

Enjoyed this one (after falling off this weekend and smashing up my bike (and me) in the Forest of Dean your vids are going to be even more useful escapism although looked quite hairy around 11.50.).

[@McTrailRider]

Not so good man 🙁 Hope your all good soon🤞

[@willienillie6337]

I would like to visit Scotland when I come to Europe. Hopefully I’ll get to ride.

[@McTrailRider]

It’s worth it in my opinion👍

[@blink182.]

i love the hermitage, its my favourite side of dunkeld. life insurance is the way to go.

[@McTrailRider]

That’s the one I did, just off the view point?

[@blink182.]

@@McTrailRider yeah, its such a good trail. or though, i have only ever done it in the pissing wet, and that first feature has always gotten the better of me.

[@seanguild6528]

on the enduro we pushed up the path you went down towards the a9 🤙🏻

[@McTrailRider]

Yeah, we realised and said that at the bottom in the video. Was good fun though👍

[@willienillie6337]

Those trees have all sorts of branches sticking out like spikes. Hate when a tree jumps out in front of you. I seen it in other videos. These are the treebear species.

[@McTrailRider]

Damn trees getting in the way 😜

[@derekmoses5325]

Mctrail rider, what riding glasses are you wearing there. Thanks

[@northern_ireland_mtb8101]

Some great looking trails, would love to get over! Wondering how you mount the Garmin?

[@McTrailRider]

The Garmin mount is this one here 76projects.com/products/enduromount

[@northern_ireland_mtb8101]

@@McTrailRider thanks!

[@ltrtg13]

As where I live in the West Midlands only has pimples, canals and old disused railway lines. What sort of travel do you think would suitable when I finally get the chance to drag a mountain bike kicking and screaming to Scotland?

[@McTrailRider]

I wouldn’t stress over suspension travel to be honest. It’s more of a factor for speed than it is for terrain in my opinion.

[@kennymathieson6471]

I’ll give you dangerous, but I can think of more boring roads than the A9 - and the views are good (when you can see them).

[@McTrailRider]

Fair point, but I’d say there’s way more interesting roads than there are more boring than the A9. Outside of motorways anyway.

[@yetti423]

Cant remember if i've seen this on patreon, don't care, still watching

[@McTrailRider]

Haha, thanks Yetti🤘

[@hamishf7444]

I believe that the A96 is more boring than the A9…

[@McTrailRider]

Only driven it once, but yeah, I don’t remember any of it, which tells you all you need to know 😜
