To The Forth links into Don't Eat the Bat but is a very different trail.

Once past the boggy opening section, the trail narrows into fun corners that get tighter and steeper. Care needed on exit as it meets a forest roadwww.trailforks.com/trails/forest-road-39131/]forest road[/L].

Once on the Bike Trossachs Trail Association permissions from Forestry and Land Scotland, work will be carried out to mitigate the issues on this trail.

Huge shift by the trail association to armour the Bog of Doom at the start of the trail as well as opening out the lower rut.

Massive high edged rut half way down adding massively to the difficulty of the trail. Is rideable but with care.

River running down trail causing significant damage. Large rut has formed where the water has started washing the trail away. Best avoid.

      Definitely black. Steep, incredibly slippery, nasty loose eroding section, and has a mandatory drop.
      Aldogaldo
      Loved this. There is a super steep section which definitely feels like a black. Maybe due to trail being rough AF. We walked those corners but dropped back into the trail. Then it speeds up a little as it meets the road. It tested us, which we like.
      JamiePzGriB
      Probably should be a black. Very steep, very technical, very difficult and very rooty.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
