The Cuillin Ridge is the most celebrated and fearsome of all of the Britains mountain ridges. Difficult route finding, unremitting steepness and exposure and a degree of technical climbing set it apart from anything else in the UK. Paul Tattersall first climbed all the Cuillin peaks with a mountain bike over his shoulder and guides traverses of the ridge and walkers seeking to achieve the summits of the Cuillin Peaks.
Thank you for making this short film; I greatly enjoyed it. It feels like a long time since I was on the ridge. "I must go up to the ridge today, To the lonely ridge on Skye, And all I ask is a clear mountain view, And a route to climb her by." James e
Nice film, really enjoyed it, but just want to point out that Paul is not the only person to take a mountain bike to the top of all of the Munros. He's possibly the first, but definitely not the only one. My cousin and his mate did a round of the Munros in 1990 or 1991 (I can't remember which year, but definitely one or the other!) with their mountain bikes, obviously including Skye. There's a cracking photo in my Aunts living room of the abseil off the Inaccessible Pinnacle. Given that there's no specific records kept of this type of thing, then how does anyone know who's done it or not? It's entirely probable that there's been others since...
