ZX-9R Lora 💞 A Ride And A Wee Hike To See A Big Cliff

In this ride to Kirriereoch, Lora and I go on a wee adventure from the village down to Kirriereoch Loch. It was a beautiful but very hot day, probably too hot to hike in the hills in all honesty. There was an occasional breeze which were like soooo nice. Anyway there is a particular mountain feature that I have been trying to get nearer to for over three years and I saw a little no very often used forest trail on the map and thought I would give it a go to see if I could get nearer to the part of a very famous mountain that I wished to see. I often see it from the road, but I had a need to get much closer to it because it really is 1200-1400 feet (from the rim to the Glen floor) of spectacular mountain loveliness. The actual mountain is much higher than this, but this bit is one of its most spectacular features. I am glad I did this wee hike because I achieved what I wanted to see better than I had ever hoped and I think given more time and some planning I can get even closer to it. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. 00:00:00 Lora has a drink 00:02:01 Watch for traffic 00:10:54 No Indicator Confusion 00:12:21 In the Glen 00:18:20 Forest 00:23:59 Into the hills 00:36:07 Where I'm going 00:40:06 Arrival 00:42:04 Hike begins 00:46:17 Kirriereoch 00:49:08 Mating season 00:49:52 Kirriemore Burn 00:52:12 Getting closer 00:58:00 Will it be worth it 00:58:42 Definitely worth it 01:00:45 Searching for seating 01:04:31 Stump views 01:05:35 Drone time 01:11:44 Coffee time 01:13:00 Heading back 01:16:49 Burn views 01:18:14 Shimmering 01:21:06 Wee hike over 01:23:14 Heading off 01:25:36 Rock issues 01:27:09 Deer in road 01:27:49 Sunset ride Total Cost for this video: £4 approx, Splash and dash petrol, 2x cups of coffee. 🎥 Filmed in: Galloway Forest Park 🏍️ Bike: 1998 Kawasaki ZX9R C1 "Lora" 🛣️ Routes: Dalmellington to Loch Kirriereoch and to Kirriereoch and Merrick 📮 Published: 18-07-2026 Total ride time: 1.75 hours Total time out: 6.00 hrs Ride Distance: 42.6 miles Walk Distance: 3.10 miles Ascent: 180 ft Descent: 180 ft Highest Point: 866 ft Lowest Point: 699 ft Difficulty: Sunday stroll Date filmed: 14-07-2026 Items forgotten: none for a change🌚 Filmed on a second-hand DJI Action 4 at 4K25fps, Wide Angle, Rocksteady On and then edited in Premiere Pro 2024.
