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.

Diversion up Glen Shellish due to vehicle bridge on Cowal Way washed away. When diverting south ascending the glen follow forest track rather than lower wet soft slippy track closer to the river. When going north towards Loch Eck follow track closer to river as it's rougher (take care) but probably more
