Mountainbiking on Beinn Bheigier, Islay
OK, OK, for alpinists the hills on Islay are nowhere near mountains (I think the Paps of Jura might just about qualify for them), nevertheless I think the title ‘Mountainbiking on Islay’ is quite appropriate today. A few days ago I came across a few interesting pictures from someone regular readers might remember:
Almost two years ago, in the Mountain Biking on Islay? entry, I posted two videos MTBLeague posted of mountain biking on Islay. It looks like he's been back recently, as I've found a bunch of Islay and Jura pictures on the MTBLeague Flickr account:
The easiest way to find them is using the islay and jura tags. Looking through them you will find a picture from the summit of Beinn Bheigier with a mountainbike just visible. It's quite strange to see a bike this high up on Islay. Having walked that way a month ago I found it interesting to see pictures of him cycling to the Paps of Jura: At the stepping stones, on the way in and finally at the top of Beinn an Oir (well, I don't think he managed to get the bike all the way up there).
Oh, and there's also a new video, but that's ‘only’ of the Bridgend Woods, not of Beinn Bheigier or the Paps of Jura:
