Snow cover still pretty good on snow-holding lee slopes. Windward slopes looking pretty bare.

New cafe open at ‘Wolftrax’, the mountain biking centre a few miles east of Creag Meagaidh.

‘Wolftrax’ is the mountain biking centre at Strathmashie on the A86, a few miles east of Creag Meagaidh. A local community-led organisation, Laggan Forest Trust, have just opened a cafe there, with the help of funding from the Cairngorms National Park.  With showers (and toilets) too, it makes a very convenient pitstop if you’re passing by. Awesome espresso!

The cafe is in a brand spanking-new building.

    It was a day of sunburn at Loch Laggan. Nice to see your recommendation for the Wolftrax Cafe. Try the locally sourced burgers they are great.
