Sounds ideal for a wee thrash aboot Mugdock.
Which incidently I will be doing very soon.
I did the Kilpatricks in May,up to Loch Humphrey and got every seasonal weather in 3 hours.
The climb was unbelievebly tough with just 10 gears,but what a day
Going down was a hoot though !!!
The Boardy is a good solid bike and the bigger wheel will smooth out any bumps.
Although I tend to think they would be better on the wide open trail stuff,so you can get the speed benefits of the 29 wheel.
Enjoy it,but that should be no problem.
What kind of drivetrain is on it ?

Deore's a very forgivable drivetrain,and yeah the ratio's seem pretty spot on.
A two times chainring might be the way to go for me,although my X9 set up copes pretty well with 1.
Worth considering though.

Don't have much knowledge of Boardmans but from what I have seen online it looks like a nice bike. I had no idea there were options for cassettes that big and thought they were all expanders or really high end kit. 42 should get you up almost anything.

I reckon its the only legitimate activity where a 50 yr old gnarly old punk can get to act like a hooligan (Off Road of course)
