Mountain biking with the htc desire android smartphone

I’m just back from 2 weeks’ hard riding/guiding in the Alpujarras region of Southern Spain. One of my new toys before I went was an HTC Desire smartphone.

Mountainbike Scotland: The Highlands

All the routes in this book are set out with the need to plan a day's mountainbiking in mind. The grading system used was designed to help identify the routes that will suit you. Text descriptions then give a flavour of the day. These are followed by a breakdown of the route into individual waypoints. These are accompanied by their OS grid references. Physical trail descriptions of the riding between the waypoints complete the picture. A great guide book with 50 mountain bike routes in the Scottish Highlands.
