Ben Lawers and Ben Ghlas provide some of the best mountain descents to be had in Scotland, so when Rob asked to do a mountain, it was a no brainer of a decision.
We somehow managed to get a good window of weather as well, which was an added bonus.

I’ve been following you for about two years Andrew and based on this and other recent videos your bike handling skills have improved massively. I can’t believe the hills you’re riding down! 😮👏👏👏👏
Fantastic scenery as usual. The dynamic between mtbers and hikers seems pretty chill in your neck of the woods. I can’t recall ever seeing a negative interaction in one of your vids……there must be something in the water. Thanks for the vid
Another film of your adventures filmed superbly, putting your skill levels on show and the beauty of Scotland's wilderness and high peaks. Unfortunately I have to disagree with you re the ghosts having encountered one on a riverbank near Peterhead. In the early hours of a morning sea trout fishing, whereby to try and discount my eyes deceiving me and that of my fellow fisherman I poked my 10ft rod towards the apparition and it passed right through. We beat a hasty retreat and I never returned to that pool and found out later that was the reason why the old timers stayed clear also. Around that period I had another encounter with a ghost but it was my granny coming back to check on her young great grandson who woke up and started chatting to what he described as the lady in the corner who had met him once when he was 2 weeks old but he described exactly the type of clothes she used to wear i.e. a housecoat. That did not spook me at all but gave me great comfort unlike the encounter on the river. Enjoy the bothy I am sure it will be fine just don't go on your own.
Excellent. Very well done both. I was most impressed with you awaiting an audience prior to your rather stylish 'dismount'! Nice.
Agreed same in N England. Usually at the solstice I have memories of many great summer rides and camping out in warm weather. Have none! One silver lining is I hope the usual winter lows/blues will not be so bad! I may enjoy winter more. Will see!
Awesome riding and video Andrew, some great views - good to see you smash that lower section and big skills on the chunk at the top - one glance at the lady and OTB :) always happens!! cheers
Did we see you two doing this on 2 June '23? I biked down mountains on 26" wheel full rigids then hardtails from 1988 to 2009 before going over to the road so have never ridden a bike with 29" wheels but even if I owned one, my gonads certainly aren't large enough to ride that kind of stuff. One question though: isn't it easier to get off the back and ride down the grass?
Enjoyed watching that, although I did feel a bit “twitchy bum” watching the steep rough top sections, didn’t want you going OTB. Well ridden 👍
Absolutely love this video and your skills 👍👍👍. Funny drive past here on Monday and thought of you. I definitely need to ride this
Brilliant another big mountain day ❤️🏴 some speed at the bottom like😬
I’ve been living in England for the past 7 years
Great ride, beautiful location!! That decent looks exhausting
Surpassed yourself yet again, awesome bit of filming keep up the good work👍
That was a master class in riding mountains. Stunning views and beautifully filmed.
Good to see you bailing one over the handlebars. Makes you seem like one of us after all. Great vid again
I like this landscape and the video. Great.
Awesome video Andrew. Probably my favorite one yet! Going full time has certainly made a massive impact on your riding! Great to see you getting more and more comfortable with the super techy stuff. Also Kudo's for the responsible drone use up top, most people wouldn't have cared and stuck it in the air anyway 👍
I was there when you had summer!!🤣😂
Great video again, been following a while. What skills, it looks steep on GoPro so must be very! Love the scenery and peak spotting shots too. Can't wait to get back ro Scotland this summer (dont mention the midges!) but i think ill be hiking this one before biking it, many years skills progression for me, if i ever get that good I'd be super satisfied! But its inspiring seeing your rides and progress.
Wow, I enjoyed that ride sitting on my arse in Dalkeith. Even with the camera flattening some of those turns look impossible. Good Work!
