highland daytrip..Pt 3 of 4...

keeping moving on the whirlwind tour we headed up for fort william and along to the nevis range...

passing the corran ferry...

nevis range has the only gondola in the UK with a restraunt at the top...

and of course it is home to the famous mountainbike center with cross country trails and the UCI downhill track...regaurded as one of the longest and tougest tracks in the downhill world cup series...


we went for a trip up the gondola...



below the snowline was the downhil track...its a beast of a track... 4-5 minutes the pros take...6 or 7 mins for us average riders...



the ski slopes were open with a good covering above the restaurant...




just below the snowline a path leads up to the view point where the views are superb...



impressed with the view!...





with time getting on it was time to get a coffee then head down the gondola...lots more scenery to see yet...
