Bikepacking; Day 4 of a 4 day ride...


 We were up early and Paul was already up packing his tent away as he had a longer day than we had today with 50+ miles planned, he left before us and we waved him off and were soon also packed and ready to go...

Straight out onto the track and climb climb climb!, 

A descent to an Army Baily Bridge then another descent to the old original bridge now not in use are the only rest points before the climbing continues...



a series of false summits disappoint as the track goes on and on, but once past a concrete square hut your nearly there and a second square hut confirms the climbing is over and blood can return to your legs!


Over the summit and ahead the infamous switch backs down around 13 bends





Soon we were down to Melgarve again and passing its Bothy and the loop completed we descended down to stop at Garve Bridge where we got the stove out for some coffee as we had plenty time...
