Glen Kinglass Trail

The whole of Glen Kinglass is remote and beautiful. I rode SW to NE and it was challenging to keep rolling mostly due to the surface rather than hills. Surface is a real mixed bag of gravel, rocks, slab, a bit of boggy ground and some stream crossings. Fun on my 2.8 inch tyres but hard going for a friend on gravel bike.

AVOIDAs of summer 2023, the section from Kinglass Lodge all the way to the edge of the Clashgour Estate near Victoria Bridge is also unridable for seven miles. The 4x4 tracks are too rutted to ride, and the footpath that bypasses Clashgour Estate by the river is boggy peat. There are also three substantial river crossing where fording is required. Unless the water levels are low, these will be impassable.

July 2023. (bikepacking)
Really difficult with the gravel bike and luggage. Almost impassable terrain, in any case impossible to ride between Glenkinglass Lodge and Loch Dossard: no other solution than to push the bike for several km of ascent in a marshy bog. You have to constantly tack to avoid water holes and quagmires, the path sometimes disappears and several ford crossings are obligatory. Probably impossible to pass through here before the end of June. But a place of breathtaking beauty. For a few hours the impression of living an exceptional moment. Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone?
