Black Trail

  • The 7 mile black is technical and rocky and for competent and experienced riders. There is also a slightly shorter 5 mile option.. It is most renowned for the rock slabs (check out the video) known locally as 'Rock Hard’ and ‘Candy Mountain’. There are also shore sections.

Blue Trail

  • The dead short 2 mile blue is a fun flowing snappy beginners trail. You ride through a section known as ‘Whoopy do’ which has a forest feel and then end on a smooth down known as the 'Ceilidh Trail’. These are actually the start and end of the black run.
