The two battle with strong winds (at least they kept the midgies at bay!) and long hike-a-bike sections before a long rocky descent back to the warm and dry.

Where would you like to see Blake and Neil go for an epic ride? Let us know!
Italian Dolomites- the Sella Ronda and area surrounding Selva di Val Gardena
Bradford
Would love to see them do something like this, but on a fat bike.
Cory Evans fat bikes are fucked up
go to a bike park with kids Walmart bikes
The Epic rides should be 60 minute features! Then they'd truly be epic! My favourite GMBN vids are easily the epic rides...
Knew you guys where filming when we saw you near the ben nevis inn, not finished watching so lets see if you edit the misses out shouting "its blakey" haha great work guys love the content 🤙
Saw them there too!!
Me and the doris at the end there.... we made it on gmbn!! #bucketlist
We spent a bit of time at the Ben Nevis inn that week 😀
@@neildonoghueMTB Unrelated, but what trousers are they you've got on there lol?
i was watching this video after i got home from work (out all day in the sun doing treework so very tired), and it inspired me to get out on my bike for the first time in a while for an epic ride and i just got back home and turned on my pc to it still paused! thankyou legends
Have you been out on your bike since or was it a one off?
@@tylerdurden4289 I was extremely busy with work at the time of that comment, since then I have been out a lot, even just a quick cruise in the evening makes such a difference to how I feel... Bikes are the best
@@tylerdurden4289 also nice name haha I spent like 10 mins thinking " I recognise this guy". Then I made the connection haha
@@awtyhrh good you made the connection and keep riding... sir 😉
I miss Scotland so much (based on the south coast for work at the moment), and this was a perfect illustration of everything I missed! Blake’s appropriate happiness at the lack of the fanged clouds, the dreich weather, the epic mountains, the drainage ditches, awesome rock, even those fire road climbs from 10 under the Ben! Much as I hated them several laps in...
For me Niels always been the best presenter. I love Martyn too of course but I’ve never enjoyed Blakes hyper approach & In this vid Niels subtlety takes the edge off him so i could really enjoy it. Thanks.
You sound really boring like a couple of guys I've ridden with. Rode with them like 2x and never again.
Neil has some inner Finn inside him. Always cool and relaxed and says only what is needed =P
Neil keeps it all grounded and even. Stoic and mature. A great balance on the presenter team.
Music is awesome thanks so much film and edit crew!!
Well except for 4:29, real kill the edit crew moment. And 7:14 was a kill the cameraman moment
a mountain bike ride in Scotland is on my bucket list for sure!!!
Been riding in high heat, this vid was refreshing, and the views were wonderful.
Great video lads. Props to the camera guy/gal. Still had to ride their gear too.
Superb mountainbiking skills demoed by Niel & Blake! As for me, practice, practice, practice! More of it, eh!
Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines! #RideOn #KeepBiking
I've walked that path down many times and not once did I think that it would be fun to ride.....respect guys 🤘
I really wish I can explore and ride places that scenic. Riding in Louisiana in United States is not even close to the same universe of the trails you ride😂 It's flat with the best mtb trail here around 120ft in elevation. But I've always wanted to climb a mountain and ride down it, that's what a mountain bike is born for💪
I love these epic rides in wild places, well done GMBN team. I would have loved to see you drag one of the GCN gravel bikers up there too.
Steve over on EMBN did that recently 👉 embn.me/EMTBvsGravel
I love these videos with Blake and Neil. Really cool adventure ride, definitely on my list of adv rides to do. Keep these videos going! 👌🏻👍🏻😎
Dammit, you guys need to stop doing so many epic rides - my list is getting too long! Adding this to the next trip 😉
Looks wicked
Wow! You have an astonishing nature there in Scotland!
i happened to be there in a hostel and i went up that hill before breakfast, came back and someone told me that was actually britains highest mountain. i got higher mountains in my literal backyard and that's only a smaller mountain area in my region :D but it was nice, enjoyed it, will come back one day. every scott was so nice and the nature is beautiful.
More of these and longer guys.... these are awesome. More road trip ones like your last one too.
Your contents are great shout out the whole team 💯💯 .
Will we get a bike check of that new Neuron CF?
Epic Ride!
Definitely more like this. Thanks for another great film! Excellent work!
I did a similar route in the late 80’s. I think we did more carrying and less riding but it was epic.
Great ride guys. Very much enjoyed watching it!
Thanks guys, great video. Inspirational!
Great one, those epic ride videos are always my favourite one's.
Thanks for the great video lads!
New subscriber. I absolutely love this channel. I am also a hiker/backpacker as well as an enthusiastic MTBiker and the trail etiquette expressed here makes me proud to be a GMBN fan. Thanks a bunch for these vids. Cheers - 🤘
Wow! That looked crazy rough on the body! Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous ride!
Well done lads, quality content as usual 😂
Love the videos
I've been to the top of Ben Nevis 25 years ago when I was like 15 or something (hiking). Would be so cool to ride my bike there! Great video guys!
Didn't know Scotland had so many valleys and lakes
Good try !!!
9:30 - Fisheye lens has got Neil's front wheel looking positively minuscule.
Nice ride guys, its really Beautiful up there.
I just got my first full suspension bike it’s a Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt
Swan, it took me 18 years. I love my full sus, however I bought a plus tired hard tail and I am surprised how often I use it.
@@ronaldtartaglia4459 I'm looking at both, full sus trail and a hardtail carbon with plus sized tires. What do you prefer?
wish i had the ability and fitness to even attempt the first climb !!!!. top effort boys!!!
Sweet!
I’m getting a 2017 giant stance the bike I’m riding now is a 2013 giant boulder the suspension doesn’t work and the brakes don’t work
Love you guys
Keaghan Willamson I was going to get the stance but instead I got a Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt
@3:40 it’s cool to see both bikes rocking the same grips, looks epic fun and interesting
You guys should check out Grizzly Monroe Diarys, hes riding every single Munroe (mountain) in Scotland and is a badass
Of all the routes to choose in this area. Oh what you've missed😭.
Makes me want to move to the UK
Nice canyon Blake
Looks epic fun
It would be nice to see a movie for filmmakers related to mtb. How to prepare for such an expedition, some useful tips, useful accessories. Because from my (little) experience I know that it is quite problematic. You make great cycling videos on trips like this one, so I think you've already gained a lot of experience on these topics :D
Thanks to the cameraman as well. I think they don't get the attention they deserve.
Blake on 29 xc bike - someone pulled him out from his comfort zone.
Nice ride 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Watching these two ride together is great. I want to ride is Scotland now. Where do I sign up? Thanks for a good time.
😟 I was hoping for some shots at the pub . Great vid as always though, looks epic
you guys should do this on a 26er
Would be awesome if you could note in the description what bikes you're ridning!
Blake’s on a canyon neuron - www.canyon.com/en-de/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/neuron/
Neil’s on a nukeproof mega - nukeproof.com/products/mega-275-rs-2019/
The landscape and terrain in gb/Ireland is crazy beautiful. I've been but didn't have my bike. Would love to go back and actually ride sometime. Great video dudes!
OH NO not another Blake and Neil EPIC ride...................................................
LOVE IT we need more
Looks amazing and is now added to my bucket list
Awesome stuff Blake,Neil and #GMBN
USA in the Rockys
I think Blake and Neil traded bikes this time around. Blake generally rides Nukeproof and Neil seems to like Canyon.
Wow! I wonder when those stone paths were built?
Did I actually just hear a Lethal bizzle POW reference on the GMBN channel haha
Sam and Frodo...should have gone Mountainbiking into Mordor!
Great ride: love epic rides. I’d love to see if you could piece something together in Mallorca. Mountain biked there once and felt like there was a lot more the island wanted to give that we never found.
Simply great video. GMBN you'r still welcome in Latvia. Can you make video about MTB tricks you can progress in when you are over 30, 40 or even 50 y.o., please?
Magic !! Guys can you ride up & down "Scafell " in the lake District as you have been up " snowden & now Ben Nevis ' great vid !!!!!👍🏼🌲🌲🚵🌲🌲👌🏻
i need to ride there. my soul is screaming at me
Would have liked to see you get too the top.
Yes, credit to the crew (or was it just one camera man? Lol) more epic rides please.
Neil should strap his chest harness tighter or simply use a better chest mount, e.g. Stundman Chestmount.
Tells us how much ascent and how many miles.... Looks epic....!
Wait, did we just see Blake riding on clipless pedals? 😱😉
What's the odds you guys have a gpx file of this route? I would literally drive a night to be there for first light and ride this route. Looks awesome!
any chance we can get the GPS files for these awesome rides?
what bike is Blake riding?
A 29er XC hardtail mtb
What is the pump you was using after plugging your side wall please?
Can I ask what the mini track pump you used please?
Great vid. What are those box things on the posts each side of the trail at 3:34?
my back yard, im 15 minutes from fort bill :)
Hey Blake remember your van you bought like 3 years ago you posted on you channel
That trail will rattle the fillings right out of your teeth, it looks more frustrating than fun
What were those suits you were wearing?
whats the device in the middle of their handle bars? GPS power meter ect?
Which pub is the real question. Not many in Fort Bill.
Did the poor old cameraman have to carry his E-MTB (seen@4.34) up those trails?
Carn Dearg (pronounced "Karn Ja-rag") is Gaelic for red cairn.
Would love to ride at Nevis range but didn’t have time after watching world cup
Will you guys share the route that you took? I would love to give it a go myself
It's up on our Komoot page 👍
@@gmbn found it thanks guys!
Make sure you understand what you are taking on before you get started. This video is a poor reflection of the route from the lochan down.
You pronuonce it cayrn Doug
Subbed! What uk trails would you guys recommend for a casual hardtail rider in the low 50's years of age? Not frightened of putting in the graft, did a 22 mile ride in the summer (my backside certainly remembered that the day after) ;) bike is a factory voodoo bokor 2018 (no mods)
I appreciate that I have experienced this place even if in a small way.
Is there a hill in the Shetlands?
Can we get a route map of this so we can do it ourselves
Daniel Easson it’s on the GMBN Komoot profile
"Midges, no bloody midges"
That's supposed to be a hiking path though, right? No problems encountered?
What's your tire pressures when descending that sort of terrain guys?
Are the trousers Neil wearing the royal storm or race pants?
Guys what Garmin are you use for navigation on your MTB. Thanks
What category does Blake’s bike come under trail or enduro
It’s a canyon Neuron, well and truly a trail bike ( a lighter trail bike ). Tbh the category shouldn’t matter though.

Blake where did you get that pocket roll for your bike kit please
How many times does Blake say ‘EPIC’ anyone counted?
Horrible weather in Ft Bill? Nooooo...
is it a trail bikes?
