Gravel Routes
Quote from Simmo on 14 February 2024, 10:31If anyone has good gravel routes from the Culloden area (about 2 hours timewise), could you share links from Strava/Komoot please?

Quote from JamesH on 21 February 2024, 12:02I have a few! All variations on a theme… Forgive me if you’ve already done some of these. All starting from Culloden Battlefield, our “usual” meet point for club gravel rides if we’re out that way.
This one was run as a club gravel ride, one of my favourites. The section from Craggie up through Clava woods is brilliant, tough climb but so worth it for the views and the fast, flowing run back down, pretty gradual descent so not too technical. https://www.strava.com/routes/3098710934059409652
Another couple of club gravel routes: https://www.strava.com/routes/3088050638074048608
https://www.strava.com/routes/3126504787132427708
And one other similar to the above, slightly longer, this one I haven’t done in its entirety so not 100% sure on some sections: https://www.strava.com/routes/3006164179296409154
As usual with gravel routes/forest tracks, they do change over time so can’t guarantee surface quality at present time (certainly at this time of year too) but all were rideable previously.
Have fun!

Thank you for those. That’ll give me a few options and hopefully help me find my cycling legs again in the process
