    Default Mountain Biking on the Isle Of Skye

    Nice...

    Euan's knowledge of the trails on Skye is exhaustive. Trying to ride the island without him would have been dangerous. He also had the knack of knowing when to call it a day. We had been pushed solidly out of our comfort zone - a steak and one of the 250 malt whiskies on offer at the Sligachan Hotel was his immediate prescription.
    Yes please!

    I think it would be prudent to skip the exercise and get straight to the refreshment!

    I figure I'll need two days to drive up there. I could fly, but I want to be able to do a camp/drive trip and need my own transportation. Anyway, they made the bridge toll-free a while back so it'd be rude not to really!

    While you're there, check out Skye Mastering, where you'll be able to hear a proper pair of loudspeakers with some hopefully decent original recordings/soundfiles.........
