mmmm..... looks like fun.
Hoping to get that far north before the days start to get short really.... it's a bit of a Trek from where I am. It's getting more tempting for sure.

try and get a weekend out of it, the 7stanes are well worth it.
glentress and innerleithen are a stones throw away from each other and will fill a day just nicely.
next day head for kirroughtree and enjoy the best single track on offer (imo) that will leave you enough time to head home in time for super.

Have to agree green Kirroughtree for a sweet time and the vast majority of the techy stuff is natural too. Not been to many more but so far it's the best. Just pipping innerleithen IMO.
GT
P.S would have loved to do Sunday GT Black but can't.

done it in about four hours, took it nice and easy! What a heat, must have been in the high tewnties. Plentysuntan lotion and water. Had a great day, well worth it. Not as technical as Wolftrax but much longer. Well worth a trip if anyone's in the area.
Want a full sus more than ever now!

Yes, done that today with partly with a chap from Anwick on a hire bike, some of the technical stuff is now gone, sad to see the sea-saw lying on it's side no able to claim any more victims (as pictured in my signature below) hope something bigger and more interesting is going to be in it's place.
