Are you kiddin' me? What a hell of a ride! a league of its own. Just WOW. And what an amazing day, what an outstanding landscape...

[@KieronHoward]

Woooooooooooooooooooooahhhhh!!!! Hold the phone. Is that the best descent in the world?!?! I've never watched a video before that has made me want to go ride it so much. It looks crazy tech on video so must be absolutely nuts in real life.

[@zanderclint2707]

You have balls mate I walked these two today and I'd never even attempt thT. The camera doesn't do the drops justice at all

[@drumandbassob0007]

that looked so mint , super rocky and tecnical at the start and then some sweet fast single track

[@BenCathro]

Was worth the hike. Totally different riding to what I'm used to.

[@theRhinsRanger]

Man that looked a blast, one to add to the list I think, cheers :)

[@SimonWattsWILDPresentationsUK]

Awesome - as always. Hit Nevis hard today! Will be cheering you on - albeit 500 miles away. Si.

[@BenCathro]

Thanks man. Nevis hit my bike hard, rear flat on the race run 😢

[@SimonWattsWILDPresentationsUK]

I checked results and guessed you'd had problems - just saving yourself that's all. Loving the channel.

[@samgoldie2399]

will you be getting your hands on any of the 29er v10 bikes?

[@StravaigingMTB]

How do you find the Feiyu tech gimbal?

[@piersgritten2586]

nice videos Ben, how about video of a bike check for your V10 and hightower, and your thoughts on the 29er dh situation

[@BenCathro]

Bike checks are on the way! Might chat about 29ers in the next Cathro Chat 🤙

[@walterwhitelickstoesforfun]

And I struggle to walk down some times good on you

[@justinsparrey177]

Looks quite technical that does... 😉

[@BenCathro]

You're telling me.....

[@richpearson753]

Rather you than me with that one

[@tommiivalo1793]

Haha I've walked up those two Munro's before and it looks proper mental on a bike

[@BenCathro]

Aye, the paths aren't really designed for bikes, great challenge though!

[@tommiivalo1793]

Ha ha I bet

[@MrDEVNO]

how long did it take to walk up?

[@brycedunn7007]

Great content Ben, what settings do you run on your Gopro's? Still loving the channel!!!

[@BenCathro]

• Hero 3+ on the Feiyu Tech WG chest mounted - 2.7k, Wide, ProTune on with everything else at default.
• Hero 5 Black Helmet mounted with goggles to stabilise helmet - 2.7k, digital stabilisation on, Superview, ProTune on with everything else at default.
• Sony Lavallière Mic attached to my collar and plugged into my phone in my pocket. (Need to mount it better so it doesn't rub)

[@gkuk10]

Be careful that Cattle grid looked slippy 🚲 👍

[@tarmacsurfers]

NEW SUB - laid up with a buggered wrist and hip and currently going through your vids. Loving it Cathro. Shame video cams don't do the Knarlyness of this trail justice. 😵

[@BenCathro]

Truth, some of those steep bits were sketch. Hope the wrist and hip get sorted soon 👍

[@tarmacsurfers]

Ben Cathro thanks mate! Ran out of talent and then turned into a little girl ha ha 😂

[@MTBScotland]

Your poor brakes :(
