Might use this same route in 2012 and bike up the landrover track.
knowing how long this is i maybe wouldnt do it in deep snow,i was fortunate with the conditions.the track would be good for the bike apart from the river crossings and it gets fairly steep near the end

Great report again Iain,fair racking up the M points,makes my year end stats pretty feeble.
i was fairly quick on the soft,boggy ground on descents,i tend to break in to a run at some points.it seemed very quick when i saw it too
have been on a push recently to get to my target,it'll slow down a lot next year
The route is a good one(cheers monty) but rockhoppers route in and out from the farm is shorter and may/may not be quicker in these conditions and it may also give better views of Achaladair and a'Chreachain plus you dont have to ford a river 9 times,
cheers for all the replies
