       Lots of hike-a-bike then an incredible amount of water bars. Scenery is good though

       Awesome trail. Start at Ben Alligan car park and first third has great riding being Liatach. 2nd third is bike a bike with bits of good biking. Last third is some amazing single track between Liatach and Beinn Eighe followed by some full on descending down to the Torridon road. Advise only do this descent is capable and running minimum 120mm full suss, much more fun on bigger shocks!

       Did this yesterday 26th August. Very nice initial climb, nothing too taxing, the water bars are largely rideable. After the trail forks of to the peak the trail degenerates significantly for a couple of kilometres being barely rideable. However don't let this put you off as the descent is top quality.

       I 'rode' this trail from east to west in Sept '20, with a detour up to Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair and back. The views on this route are great. The Loch is a really nice wee place. The initial climb from the car park to the turn for the loch is 90% Hike-a-bike (HaB) and would be good to ride down. The climb to the loch is all HaB and i found I could ride a significant amount of it on the way down, It's without a doubt a black grade though. From where the trail comes back to the main east to west trail for a good few Km's is unrideable. Its a Glacial moraine field meaning you have to climb like 9 feet for ever 12 feet of descent, and repeat and repeat and repeat........ To the point where getting on your bike to ride 10 metres is bliss. I would never encourage someone to take a bike back there.

      There is part of this trail covered by a google street view camera which I used to base the rest of the trail on. This part is good fun. The waterbars were easy enough to bunnyhop over on an Enduro bike.

      So basically the trail is bookended by good trail but there is unrideable, frustrating hell inbetween. If you go up to the area there are better rides. Avoid this one!!!
