Hey, just a bit about the Corrieyairack Pass. I drove up there the other day from the Laggen side, the tarmac comes to an end and you carry on on dirt track for about 300 or 400 meters to a large bothy. Here the land owner has put a locked chain across the track and put hay bales up each side to stop 4x4s going round, a bike could get past though. I stopped there and had a look in the bothy, I wasnt palnning on going any further that day anyway. I sat on the old bridge next to the bothy for lunch and a land rover wiith the estates stalkers and "gentry guests" pulled up, and just staired at the bike, asked me where I was going 3 times each time I said I was headed home soon, the last time I answered I also said "dont worry Im not going over the pass, they didnt once look at me, were very hostile, and then drove on. I am planning on riding the pass next year.
