Not realising that there was an enduro event on, me and Piers made our way the Dunkeld to ride some enduro trails as the wind looked a bit too strong for the mountains.
One this day we chose to focus on Athol hill, one of four at Dunkeld. Thankfully the enduro didn’t really effect our days riding and we got to ride everything that we wanted too.
Dunkeld is a place I really enjoy visiting, but I just don’t get to enough. So many trails still to be ridden.

Another awesome video. They have kept me going for the last 3 months after being rushed to hospital and needing major surgery and helped me with the pain of missing getting out on my bike.
A graceful dismount there ! Haha trails look bloody ace 👌
He couldn’t have done it better if he tried
They look ace trails, if it looks steep on GoPro then it’s steep! Need to go there 👍❤️🏴
Very true
As always your videos make me happy. Dunkeld looks amazing
And that makes me happy 🤗👍
This place looks amazing. And great riding skills as always.
Thanks Lukav👍
Getting really fed up with all these superb trails!!! Joking,quality as usual fella!
Well try my best to get some bad trails done soon😜
This has made me want to go back up atholl hill again, epic footage and keep up the great work!
Such a great wee hill for biking👌
Incredible riding. So good to watch...
Thanks Stoozer
Thumbs up for the dismount! 😄😄
👍😜
Just got out of hospital so I will be riding vicariously through you for the next few weeks :-)
Oh dear😬 what h happened?
@@McTrailRider not a crash, just medical.

Some place for one place 👍
@@McTrailRider totally👍😁🤙
Atholl Hill now on the list 🤙
Rightfully so Jamie 👍
great riding, sweet trails :)
Thanks buddy
Its on my list of "going to head there" places to ride. Ask Piers how he is getting on with his 161 as a long term overview, is it a good enduro/all mountain, it looks like a weapon once you get used to the geometry. Very tempted by one but its a long wait till they are available again.
He’s still loving it, and his riding has improved no end since getting it. It took a little getting used to the longer reach for him though, but that’s about it.
@@McTrailRider yeah it does look a stable rig on the downward trajectory. Keep up the good work, that looked epically steep at the end of the 2nd last trail.
Hi Andy
How wide are piers bars they look massive in intro in back ground ,looks like his arms should be about 6ft long 🤣😂
I think they are 800mm, whatever comes standard on a Privateer 161. They probably are a bit wide for him to be fair.
@@McTrailRider wow that is wide am 6.1 and find 770 spot on ,they do look funny in intro must be effect from lens 😄
Yi had mi at, "Oh Jeez!".....................Yi had me at Dunkeld! Hahahahaha
😂
Looks bloody steep
Certainly was towards the end there
Great vid Andrew 👍...looking for a wee frame bag myself...whats the name of that one ?🤔
It’s this one here
alpkit.com/products/fuel-pod-rear-top-tube-bag
@@McTrailRider nice one dude 👊
Trails look mega. Probably a lot harder than you make them look👍
That looked sweet! whats the tools to chocolate ratio in your frame bag? (fanny pack)
Mainly tools believe it or not
@@McTrailRider yet its shaped like a slice of cake!
Hi mate, I have a question been looking to get some new brakes. What you running?
Shimano xt’s, they’re pretty decent. Depends what your after really.
@@McTrailRider ok, thanks man! Have a good one. 🤙
@@McTrailRider are they 4 pot?
@@AaronCurtin they are 👍
What width bars are u running and how tall are u? Just intrigued as I watched ur bike check vid where u said u were running 810mm bars, which seems mad wide, so didn't know u had cut them down since.
Still running around 800mm, I’m 6’1 but my arm span is almost 6’4.
@@McTrailRider ok cheers
So there are - in fact - some trees left in Scotland ...
We’ve got loads of trees, just not high up, which is actually ideal for the drone 👌😜
