This is an exposed hillside route which should only be attempted by experienced Mountain Bikers. Expect to carry your bike in some places.

From the Forestry Commission car park at Glen Doll, proceed out onto the road you came in on. After the bridge turn left through the gate and onto the Land Rover track. Stay on this track, passing through a gate, and pass round the NE side of Moulzie. Keeping the river to your left, follow the footpath along the bank, crossing various boardwalks and a footbridge.

Follow the rough track up towards Bachnagairn where you will inevitably, at some point, have to carry the bike up to the footbridge. From the Bachnagairn footbridge, the climb becomes increasingly difficult before eventually levelling out. The main trail turns east and shortly after some sheds, an inviting piece of single track beckons.

However, continue on the main track for a fast descent down ‘The Streak of Lightning’ which finishes up on the shore of Loch Muick. Continue NE along the side of the Loch before turning right and starting the climb up the Capel Mounth. The track eventually levels off and continues to roll across the top of the hills for around 3km until the track peters out and the start of the single-track descent begins.

Follow the trail downhill which can be feint in places. At the tree line near the bottom, the trail used to continue but is now impassable due to fallen trees. Look out for the new small walkers’ path on your right. This descends down the fall line to the track at Moulzie. Turn left to retrace your steps back to the car park.
