Loch Lee/Falls of Unich.

Deleted account 220319001 · Oct 25, 2020

Deep in to the Angus Glen's is Loch Lee, 15 miles doon a country road to be precise and you get to Loch Lee.

The initial plan was to ride up Mount Keen (Scotland's most easterly Munro) but having seen the weather we got as we approached a toddle...or so we thought round Loch Lee was the way to go.

Oh wait, there's a hill in the distant....feck me, motor or no motor this was a brutal climb.

At the start of the climb....

About to cross the worlds most shoogly bridge....

About half way up....

Getting there.....

Starting on the decent back down...

From there it was back down and round what looked a simple track to the Falls of Unich...then the weather closed in and blowing a hooly.

Only 13 miles later and we're back to the car, knackered....again.

Looking closely at this pic you can see the rain pishing doon...

As ever with photos they don't show how fast and how big this is....

Yay ! someone actually read it and replied, I thought, well what a waste of time posting that was :blast

I somehow missed this.....cheers for posting. Pics don't do the scale of the scenery justice and never show rain for what it can be.

You know better than anyone on here that I couldn't careless what others think of me, you've seen it first hand, over a number of years.

Indeed I did, about half a dozen, they were near the summit of the climb, they seen me before I seen them cause they wouldn't have heard me as I was downwind, but by the time I got up there they were gone.

You seem a little mixed up, quite possibly the onset of early dementia, one is pushing on a tad.

Do I care that some random people, who I couldn't careless about and mean nothing to me, lob abuse at me and call me whatever they're current choice of expletive at that time is, no.

In regards this topic, Davey B, specifically asked me to write up a thread if I go out as he'd be interested in the routes and scenery etc

As for the expensive bike, absurdly expensive, way more than I had intended to spend, way more bike than I'll ever need but hey ho, it was available, it was in my size and if I didn't buy it then I'd probably have to wait anything from 3 months onwards to get one.

As for the route, twas fatboy Clarky that suggested I go there.

Walked up there from the car park, fantastic scenery. Scotland has so many lovely places, you should try biking around Blair Atholl area, again some great scenery.

I've done up to Falls of Tarf before and to Loch Lochy (from Enouchdu side) but never the full Beinn o ghlo route but that's not really something I'd consider now at this time of year.

Indeed, I've spent a fair few quid on most of the paper OS maps of Scotland for planning some post recovery MTB riding (Yeah, I can get an app etc...I just like to lay 3 or 4 maps out on the floor and really see where it's at) :beerjug:

My OS map ended up soaked :blast
