タメル湖のおすすめMTBライド

Small but cosy. A few sleeping spaces in the ‘living room’ by the wood burner, plus the ‘attic suite’ where I slept on the floor. Apparently, the bothy’s getting a makeover this summer (2026), which should create a bit more sleeping space. I cycled here on a gravel bike (not hiked, although I did a fair share of hike-a-bike tbh in the snow!).

Fantastic run , did on full suspension mtb so smoothed out the ride.

Steep and rocky and e carful on the decent

An impressive waterfall suddenly appears behind the cast-iron suspension bridge in the foreground. I paused here to enjoy it.

To really see the castle properly, you'll have to pay to visit. From the surrounding roads and paths, you'll only see parts of it, but the white building is immediately noticeable.

Along the turbulent Tilt River, you'll see several waterfalls, and as a visitor, you'll often be amazed. It's truly beautiful.

ACCESSIBILITY ADVICE! Tried to take pictures for understanding accessibility to this bothy. All the way is a 4x4 track at times quite sandy and uneven, with grown over parts in the middle and never too steep but continual hill coming to the bothy from Blair Atholl. The main challenge for hand cyclists riding solo is a gate that opens both ways but requires you to come off the road a wee bit onto uneven ground with not much space for manouverig. The main 4x4 gate was padlocked closed in late February when I was there but maybe it could be open later or asked to be opened. Takes maybe 1hr 30 minutes -2hrs from the station to the bothy cycling I'd say. Photos to help.
