Joe Barnes takes us on a journey around some of his favourite trails in Fort William on a somewhat very rare and sunny week. The video is a throwback to 2017, the film wasn't released at the time but finally sees the light of day looking back on a glorious week in Fort William.

 The Allt a' Mhuilinn path up to the CIC hut. It's not a great cycle tbh, there are much better big routes in the area.

 @Quartz: It's great if you like carrying your bike over streams and hopping lots of drainage ditches while having to avoid lots of people walking.

 @redrook: We didnt see one walker when we shot this actually, its not really as busy as your making it out it is tbh but I do agree with the amount of drainage ditches.

 @konastab01: Sure, it's fine if you pick your timing carefully. But I'm a local, I know exactly how busy it can get Wink

 @konastab01: I don't think he made it out to be all that busy, every time I've ridden up there I've encountered people walking. Sometimes you get lucky, but it's definitely a popular place, lots of people going up to CIC and to access the North Face.

 I really liked that.
It had a real cinema feel to it
Now do one of Sam Hill in some proper terrain and I’ll pay for it.
