Lairg - Crask Inn to Loch Choire

Hi, Sitting looking at maps planning a 2025 comeback tour...does anyone know if this section of track (between the arrows) is rideable please? Not keen on hike a bike death marches!

Path up from the loch is mostly rideable, a few peaty sections, some planks for quads on the worse sectionss and some large rocks. Over the bealach it is a faint path, I pulled the tyre off of my front wheel sliding on a slab (I saw how much sealant was inside the tyre) but somehow it popped back into the bead and kept air inside. Flat section along the river is a boggy path but with big tyres I rode most of it without getting wet feet. I think it was a very dry spell before I went across last spring.

Sorry should add I did east to west.

Pretty sure Phil has something on his blog (<edit>Here's the link - https://philsbikepacking.blogspot.com/2 ... lands.html</edit>) about that track. No doubt when he's back from his BAM he'll provide more info.

Thanks both, think I'll scratch that and look elsewhere...

It goes ok and once over the bealach is a fine trail. Crask to the pass would be a schlep in the wet.
