October 1, 2025,Fort Augustus - Laggan Locks Out-and-Back

A leisurely, low-level gravel ride between Fort Augustus and Laggan Locks. Perfect for many occasions: a family ride, a recovery spin, a bad-weather alternative to higher mountain routes, or simply when time is short — such as on arrival or departure days while on holiday. Just lovely!
