Linn of Quoich Punchbowl to Beinn a'Bhuird via Glen Quoich – Cairngorms National Park

Beinn a' Bhùird is a munro. These are mountains in Scotland which are over 914 metres. They can be quite challenging descents but the mountain path we’re riding on here is one of the best. You can do this as a loop, ticking off other Munros or more simply just as an out and back. When you summit, you have incredible panoramic views over the Cairngorms, a beautiful Lochan and incredible rock statues. You’re truly in the wilderness here and it’s just incredible. The descent is one of the best Munro descents in the country: it’s fast, flowy and there are limited technical features on the trail, you just have to watch out for those drainage bars! Being able to ride locations like Beinn a'Bhùird are privileges that we as mountain bikers can’t take for granted. We need to respect these fragile landscapes, ride to the terrain, conditions and acknowledge the wildlife they’re home to. The trail associations are working to sustainably build bigger trail networks and communicate the benefits that MTB’ing brings to the local communities. The best way we all can help, is by appreciating and understanding the work that goes in to creating the trails we love to ride.
