      Can’t understand why this isn’t marked as a trail from the top down to the car park. Clearly being ridden and is perfect for mountain bikes. Unless it’s not supposed to be ridden for some reason.

      Dont not use this to access the real cave run, red route, its a brutal climb.

      Second this, if you are parked at Cally Car Park and trying to access the atholl blacks/reds Trailforks will route to function will direct you up this path. There’s no way you want to push up this never mind cycle it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
