    Planning on doing the following this weekend;

    Drumlanrig
    Ae
    Mabie
    Dalbeattie
    Kirroughtree

    The 7 Stanes website doesn’t appear to have been updated recently and wouldn’t cover all these anyway…

    Are they all open and in full currently? Nothing worse than getting to a trail centre and part [or all] of it is closed!

    Thanks in advance.

    Seems fairly up to date to me ..and the only one that’s not featured is Drumlanrig ..
    A couple of mates were there two weeks ago and all was well.

    As above, forestry commission website took over from the separate 7 Stanes one a few years ago sadly. It’s not as good but it does normally have closures on.

    Nice selection for the weekend, a fair bit of riding though, hope the weather is good for you.

    Mabie was fully open last time I was there (few week ago) but they have been doing forestry work so sometimes sections are being closed down if there’s machinery about.

    Cheers Trekster.

    We ended up swapping around our plan due to the weather forecast, which meant we did Dalbeattie on Sunday and we did come across a few runners and one group of riders on hardtails who absolutely flew past us on the next ascent after the slab!

    😀
    We were there in the morning with our kids club practicing for the Jnr race on Sat.
    The fast adult racers get round in just over the hour 😐
