Itinerary description

A challenging mtb adventure into the Isle of Man hills above Kirk Michael with commanding views across The Irish Sea. I really was not expecting the varied cross country mtb trail that took us alongside Glen Dhoo to the upper reaches of Slieau Curn Summit. It was like riding in The Yorkshire Dales. Prior to scaling these heights we were treated to a wonderful mountain bike ride along the 'old' Kirk Michael railway line. From the high point of trail we also enjoyed a wonderful descent along the Baltic track to Kirk Michael below. This really is a wonderful cross country mountain biking trail.
All of the Action Cam footage was recorded with a GoPro Hero11 Black.
I was riding a Cube Stereo Hybrid TM 160. GPX routes of the trail are included below.
