Barnbarroch Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

This section of trail begins with a tough, rocky, nadgery climb, never too steep but always testing your bike handling and balance - you won't be setting any speed records here. Soon though it opens up into beautiful deciduous forest before moving on to the next major feature of the slab

Slab Bypass Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

The rock slabs can be slippery and you have to commit 100% when you cross the crest. But worth the adrenaline!
