Loch Eck

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you are cycling on the west side of the loch it is passable on road tyres (I.e. 28c) but it is majority gravel so if you are wanting abit more fun/speed I would suggest some 37c tyres at least.

May 19, 2024,A Loch Eck cycle, featuring landslip obstacle courses and a swim*

*a swim so small my watch didn't even register that I left the trail!

Lovely chill revisit to the shores of Loch Eck, enjoying lots of much-needed shade amongst the trees, but some somewhat tricky negotiating of landslips is needed at the moment!
