Well done Martin - for doing it all, capturing it all and then retelling it as well.

You've rubbed salt into an old wound by getting round to Braeriach - I camped at the bothy below Devil's Point a few years ago before the bike became a handy accessory - I did the first three then ran out of time

Still, any excuse to get back there

Great report - well done! Try an icepack on your knee after you get back home - really takes the heat out and reduces the swelling very quickly. I look forward to reading your next reports.

That's some distance and ascent for one trip - well done, you! Hope your knee is better and you got out this weekend.

Nice report and some cracking pics as ever Martin. :D Well done! :clap:

Strangely enough, I bagged these four only a couple of days before you – on Sunday 13th.

No mountain bike for me, though :lol: …. I did them from the North, starting off at the Sugar Bowl at 7a.m. and getting back at 8.30pm. :shock: 13.5 hrs, 36kms and 2 VERY sore feet. :lol:

I had a perfect day weather wise. :)

Was a bit underwhelmed by the Chalamain Gap though. :? I had expected it to be a lost worse. Even on the return it only took me ten mins to traverse.
