Longest blue trail in the UK. Opened in September 2021. It's a work in progress and will be a while before it's bedded in and all the bends have been built up appropriately. Currently very loose in the top third, with some rather flat bends. Faster riders will manage air; beginners should watch their speed. A couple of picnic bench stops along the way, and plenty of room to move out of the ay of faster riders. Two thirds of the trail is on exposed hillside, with the bottom third in the trees. Pops out on to the forest road at the top of Blue Steel.

Access Info

From the top of the gondola, ride up right on the dirt road that goes behind the downhill start shed. Follow this road down to the start of the trail, just before the ski lift. At the end of Blue Doon you'll pop out onto the forest road at the top of Blue Steel.
