It’s that time of year again when 288 international riders start tomorrow on a week of intense Trials riding competition
180 sections and over 600 road miles on bikes without seats during the week
Going up to watch tomorrow and soak up the atmosphere again
Plenty of video footage online through the week to follow the Trial
 
Looks like Great Weather JB must get back up there not been since 2021.

Another stunning day in the Highlands
Weather glorious
Scenery never fails to impress
Got 3 groups of sections in yesterday, 1 near Gairloch and Spean Bridge and 2 on the Ardmurchan Peninsula on the way to Strontian

You may spot a top 10 Dakar rider and a multiple world champion in the last pic, on the Corran ferry
 
Good day in Glen Nevis, good to meet up with Johnnyboxer again and good to watch some very talented folk ride bikes up river beds and impossible looking obstacles.

Plan to return on Saturday.

Who was the Dakar top 10 lad?

It was the lady at the back of the Corran Ferry pic
Laia Sanz - 9th overall in 2015 Dakar

Good to meet up with you too, nice to chat

Pics below from Lower Mamore near Kinlochleven and then Ben Nevis sections

Rumours are already circulating that Dougie is contesting marks, it was the same last year. Apparently he went over the bars but got away with it! as is usually the case there doesn’t appear to be any photos or videos to confirm the accusation.
