The MTB fun trail is exactly as it says- good fun. A little more thought could have gone into the placement of jumps as there is little lead in and even less lead out to get any speed or distance on the jumps. Some fun fast sections, but the designers could have learned a little from the pump track at Bree before calling Sliabh Bui a fun trail as it is reasonably difficult, made more so by endless rooty sections.

It is one SERIOUSLY long trail

There is one trail not listed here that branches down to the right on the access road to the summit of Sliabh Bui that is a straight, steep rocky section that looks like a pure kamikaze run. I might actually name it that! Definitely worth a look

Access Info

Access from Askamore village up to summit of Sliabh Bui to the left of the transmission towers
