Skye 2011 Aftermath thread....

Great photos. Looks like there was at least 300 yards of ridable track as well.

Liking Mr Panda and Radek's differing views on helmet wear.

After this point my photo enthusiasm waned - huge climb loomed and then 3.5 miles of bog, up to knees on 3 occasions.
 
Day 2 - The Quiraing

TheKen's rocking his missus' shades - was he going for Bono meets Audrey Hepburn? Only his style consultant can tell

Radek hike-a-biking - yes, there was a lot of this, especially at the start

Mr Panda ponders his line up through the next bend

Looking southwest back towards the start of the Quirang - Cnoc a Mheirlich on the left (I think)

One of these is the Needle, or maybe they all are, they all look pretty jaggy to me

Round the bend, heading north under the ridgeline now

And the start of the (almost rideable by mere mortals concerned with death) singletrack heading down towards Flodigarry

Scrambling down the hill towards Loch Hasco after missing the path

Amped up to be back on the trail, we crank it up a bit for the final section of flowing singletrack...

In rock :facepalm: :facepalm:
 
Oh and the screaming shits I have today reminds me that Zebra Burgers might taste nice but might not be the best thing to buy from a van on the top of a scottish hill.
