Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I’ve only ever walked from Linn of Dee but as I recall it, the paths heading West would be more easily covered by bike.

I think you can cycle to Aviemore via the Lairig Ghru, but it’s been a long time since I was out that way so my recollection is sketchy at best. Paths to the north would be more difficult, I think.

I’ve also heard of a circular route up Glen Lui and back down Glen Dee, via the Corrour bothy. But it depends how good you are at biking.

Thanks. I won't be going to Aviemore along the Lairig Ghru that's for sure!

Wondered about something easy just to scope the area out.

fetcheveryone.com/routes-view.php?id=1871515

I've just made that up from the map though, I don't know how those paths would be.

not been on the paths for the first 8 miles, but where you turn right just before the 9 mile mark, up to Derry Lodge, and back to the carpark, is land rover track (or I suppose we call it "gravel" these days)

Looks like it's known as the Clais Fhearnaig Circuit

Aye, that’s the sort of thing I was thinking of.

Got something to say?
