Re: North West Scotland

[Moa'Dib]

MBR had some great pics from up there a couple of years back, I think near
Kinlochbervie. If anyone has any details I'd also love to hear them, since I
love that area and the trail looked excellent.

There is another I found on the web called "The Arkle Loop", which I'm sure
google will find for you. It did a loop around just south from there,
looking over to Foinaven etc. Again, stunning scenery.

There's an excellent book called 101 Mountain-Bike Routes in
Scotland, written by Harry Henniker, Mainstream Publishing,
ISBN 1-85158-936-8.
He's got three locations,

Kyle of Durness to Cape Wrath (well written up elsewhere),

a 9mile easy explore in Borgie Forest Nr Borgie on A836,

and a 14 mile return archeologically interesting route at
Truderscraig in Naver forest.
The B871 joins B873 at Syre and theres parking at Rosal, which
is a pre Clearances village.
Hope this helps
Mike
