Land OwnerForestry And Land Scotland
Gentle gradient single track that starts up and over a small boulder at the carpark, with scatterings of roots and rocks and a couple of tight trees. Best ridden in the dry. A section half way down can get very boggy in the wet. Be aware some walkers also use this trail in both directions.
This trail is unsanctioned.
