Tips

Argyll Forest Park is a forest park located on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scottish Highlands. Established in 1935, it was the first forest park to be created in the United Kingdom.[2] The park is managed by Forestry and Land Scotland, and covers 211 km2 in total.
From the Holy Loch in the south to the Arrochar Alps in the north, the park includes a variety of landscapes, from high peaks to freshwater and seawater lochs.

Much of the forest park lies within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park established in 2002, however the forests at Corlarach and Ardyne in Cowal are outside the national park boundary but within the forest park.
The route we took was a well maintained jeep track running next to the A83. There were some steep ascents and we did a lot of pushing but it was magnificent.

The fire road surfaces are mostly good. A few stiff climbs around.
