Fun for all
Great trail centre with a variety of marked and off piste trails from blues to blacks. Fair bit of climbing required to get the most out of all the trails, but an uplift service is available.
What do you like?
Great mixture of trails for all levels of skill and abilities. Toilets and a cafeteria on site for when you get caught short or just need to refuel. Uplift service saves those tired legs and is reasonably priced if you chose your trails wisely to get the most runs in. Loads of parking available and competitively priced in line with other Scottish trail centres. Facilities available on site and locally for bike and e-bike hire.
What could be improved?
Maintenance of the older marked trails is lacking. Holds water for days and even sunny days can result in a mud covered bike. New trail maintenance needs stepped up. New reds and blues are extremely loose off line and need to be ridden with some care when really dry. Bike wash has been a hit and a miss, either not working or hose missing and cost/ time allowed is short for a centre where your bike get muddier than most! Cafe is contactless only, unless the WiFi stops working then they swap to cash which can end up leaving with you eating elsewhere! Lower trail ends have been shut since opening and only recently reopened, which gives you an idea of how low the maintenance is. Some trails with storm damage have been shut or diverted for some time.
