That looks like a route I would like to do on my recently purchased eMTB. Thanks for the inspiration. There is so much of Scotland that only gamekeepers and shepherds normally see but with electric Mountain bikes that is changing.
As I am a subscriber to the Scots magazine I very much look forward to reading the article, Cameron. I was up in your neck of the woods in early June and was planning on riding this very route but it was just too hot! I love how your view on bulldozed tracks has evolved over the years. Like you, I was no fan when I walked in the hills but now that I mainly cycle I have to say I love them. I'd rather see a beautiful and cared for Glen Feshie with gravel roads than some bleak grouse moor desert without them.
Great scenery Cameron, although not a prolific writer like yourself, I like to write wee stories. As an ex driver I've written for a trucking magazine in the UK and Canada, I also wrote wee stories about my youth in Glesca. But I hardly buy a magazine now, the price is just too much for an old pensioner, the Readly app is a bargain at £9.99 a month but I much prefer the tactile feel of turning the page. The Scots magazine is a great read and I've bought it occasionally. Keep up the good work Cameron.
Indeed. Mr Povlson has done a fantastic job in re-wilding the glen. I can remember it as a barren, overgrazed, deer-infested place. The change has been remarkable, and has come about simply be bringing deer numbers to a sustainable level. There are lessons here to be learned by other landowners.
Re-wilding is a great idea but unfortunately some TV gardeners are against it and it's getting a bad press. So much so the BBC pulled a David Attenborough programme on it.
Fantastic video very inspirational I travelled some of this route when I walked I believe the thief's road and the Minigaig from your book wilderness walks. getting back to this video does this new path cut out the climb in to the two woods. thanks for keeping so many people inspired to enjoy the great outdoors.
For those of us who cant take on another monthly subscription chrck to see if your local library offers press reader. Big selection of paers and magazines including the Scots Magazine free via the library subscription.
Will probably try Readly although I do prefer a paper mag. Very much enjoy your videos as I did TGO when you were editor. I write this from my sleeping bag ( won from TGO ) in our motorhome near Hadrian's Wall.
Nice Video Cameron: Ive hiked and biked that route a number of times over the years and I was aware of the new track crossing over at Bhran: I was already planning to do the ride at my next visit in 6 weeks time. Coincidently, I was plotting the route at the same time as you uploaded your video. The new track now no longer means a hike a bike through the dodgy bog field section👍👍
I did this route in the opposite direction from you as part of the Kingussie Bikeathon event last year. Unfortunately I won’t be able to do it this year but my wife is doing it.
There are a number of places you can start and finish from, the beauty of a circular route. I started at Drumguish, near Kingussie. Tromie Bridge is a good starting place but there's nowehere to park there. Not sure when I'll get it written up but probably for the October issue.
Nice one, Cameron. We are going to be in those parts in September with our bikes and that looks like a great ride to do. We love Glen Feshie. Can you point us to a map of the route, please?
It’s so new it isn’t on any map yet as far as I know. But it’s easy enough to find. Straight up Glen Tromie, turn left at the keeper’s house as you enter Gaick, first left up the hill and follow the new track all the way into Glen Feshie. Plenty of trails marked on the OS map to get you back to the start.
Cameron, we got to do this ride last Saturday and we thought it was one of the best rides we had ever done - anywhere! One small route finding mishap took us down to the dam but we soon managed to unpick it. It’s a steep old drop down into Glen Feshie, but all good fun. Thanks for sharing it. David.
There seemed to be space for only a couple of vehicles at that spot where you put your van. Is there anywhere else nearby to leave a vehicle ? I wish you would out the grid ref on for the new track start too but I suppose it is easy enough to find.
Readly is great, was a subscriber for a few years, but moved to Pressreader as you can access a lot of magazines and newspapers free there with your local library membership details. Not as big a selection as Readly, and it depends on your local library as to which magazines are on offer, but I find that there's a good selection of outdoors and cycling type magazines, as well as many others. Looks like a great route, might have to put it on the list, many camping options at the top of the pass?
Cairngorms always good ride out .. I guess short ride out means you have no need to charge that electric ⚡️ 🪫 🚴bike huh .. you can enjoy any inclines at a breeze 😁🏴

Great video, Cameron. I've ridden Glen Feshie and Glen Tromie and hope to ride this route to connect them both. Thanks for posting.
Super video and. a great remote location - also great info and background to the history-Many thanks

Brilliant content
Looking forward to the next outing 👍
Really like the look of that route. Is there a gpx file for it? Would appreciate any help there.

Thank you for the inspiration for my next ride in the cairngorms. Excellent video
Bought your book, An eye to the hills today, Waterstones giving it a good push. Looking forward to it.
Thanks Gary. Hope you enjoy it.
Looks a great route and now on the list to do
LOLs at the yappy dug (12:05). It's always there 🙂
Rode up there 2 weeks ago on the Cairngorm loop over to Bruar. Absolutely gorgeous Glen that I’d never been down. Wondered where the new road went!
another great vid Cameron looks a cracking cycle
Every time I ride down Glenfeshie it looks a little more wilder. It’s fantastic to see👍

Ah, Hadrians Wall. Walked some of it last year with my son. It’s amazing. Glad you’re still using the sleeping bag!

Cameron, is this a circular route? Do you start near Kingussie? Also when is your review coming out in the magazine?? Thanks Regards John,Helensburgh

It’s best done anti-clockwise as per this video. The climb out of Feshie is brutal otherwise !

Park in Kingussie and ride up the Speyside Way - easy enough, particularly on an ebike

Try Readly, with my link you can get 2 months free, which can be cancelled at any time: gb.readly.com/cameron
Done! Way more choice than Apple News + 👌
@@andyclough285 Great stuff Andy. It's a good deal and you'll find plenty of good magazines in there. I like some of the US ones too.
Is it the best route? There isn’t a bad gravel route in the Cairngorms in my opinion they are all great.
