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.

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