Off Road Advice

[Deleted account rno]

Do any of you guys know of any off road routes (one would do ) within easy distance of Glen Clova.

I'm looking for route that a few bikes could go on during the Gathering of the Clans meet (for those who don't fancy the road runs)

I realise that this could be a tall order but...

Thanks in advance,
Ronno

Think you might be into 'getting mistook for a dear (honest) and shot' territory here. There is always Jocks road i suppose

I've walked a part of Jock's Road, mind you that was several years ago and my memory might be playing tricks on me (age you see ). I know that it's possible and probably relatively easy on a MTB but would it be suitable on a GS?

Could always try it if your looking for volunteers

No, unless you are called Chris Pfeiffer (or whatever)!!!!

Plus you'll upset the walkers.

would it be suitable on a GS?

It's about 10 years since I was up there with the mtb. From memory it would be do-able on an enduro bike but not a GS.

Shot in the dark but

I passed that area today and approx 3 miles back from the spittle up to the right there is an area of private(no FC signs anyway)forest thats been cut. A very interesting long and winding track snakes all the way up over a hill. If we could find out who owns it and get permission. I can't see us doing any damage(well only to ourselves)

TBH That was my thinking (purely from memeory of walking it).

That's Jock's Road scratched from the list

I'll take a trip there next week and ask around

Ronno - I seem to recall that Den had a post of an offroad route somewhere near Kirriemuir. I can't remember how long it was but you could PM him for info

Andy,

IIRC Den's post was tongue in cheek. I think it was a path going over a Munro or something.

Edit: Just seen Den's post below. Sorry for thinking yer original post was a jape, Den

It only about 3/4 of a mile along a disused railway. Not worth the effort really.
