Mountain biking

Because two rivers meet here, the passage is wider than most other rivers at the top of Glen Tilt and Mar Lodge Estate. I was here in July and could only cycle halfway across the river. The outer bend, as usual, was deep and had a strong current, forcing me to walk with my bike on my shoulders.

Mountain biking

Here the Cairngorms Loop Inner and Outer loops join, where the Geldie Burn splits.

Enjoy the golden gravel roads and expanses of rocky riverbed. Take care when crossing the river after heavy rainfall, when the current is fast or levels high.

Hiking

This is Geldie Burn and it has to be forded. It's wide so no, you won't get through without putting your feet into the water. I recommend some water shoes so you don't slip. It's fun!
