Mark Davison

Mostly explorations of the off-road options from home (Glasgow) or day trips often by rail or Ember who are a bike friendly bus service. Unless tagged "civilised", may involve wet feet, bike hiking or carrying bike. I don't have a mountain bike or great skill but my secret weapons are leather SPD MTB boots and low gearing.
Perhaps it’s traditional “rough stuff” cycling or sometimes single track mountain biking without a mountain bike.
Almost all routes accessible from Glasgow, by rail or Ember Bus.
If you can't download GPX files from Komoot or Strava, they're pretty much all are available from Gravel Bike Scotland on Facebook at facebook.com/groups/674256629867399/files/files
Routes tagged as "civilised" at komoot.com/user/2939118848349/tours?type=recorded&search=civilised for better tracks that should under most conditions avoid mud, wet feet and river crossings.

About 600m gap in tracks at top of Kelburn High Estate Road, when viewed from the windfarm track the terrain looks dire!

Four potentially rough sections compared to strava.com/activities/17928265927.

1) Over rather than around Caldron Hill following route of all Strava Heat Map cycling traffic.

2) Tried over Black Hill following denser Strava Heat Map cycling traffic to avoid mud track to Fairlie Glen Trail after experience
