    You did Glentress and not Innerleithen? Do that for sure, the 7 Stanes route, plus plenty more to be found if you go a hunting. And if you can find it all, across the river is some superb riding. Was there today, some amazing trails hidden away.

    Kirroughtree too. Stirling has loads of great trails. Aviemore and loads more.

    The Pentlands are good at the minute. Also Gypsy Glen near Peebles.

    Cambu’s your local but you think the Shredder’s amazing? I is confused.

    I assume you know the full north third loop?

    Was there more than a hint of sarcasm in that post?

    Aye, Innerleithen’s the obvious missing trailcentry one there considering your others- there’s a ridiculous amount of good riding in/around the trail centre, almost none of the best stuff is on the maps though.

    Drumlanrig and Comrie Croft are both superb- cross country mind, so less of the simple thrills of the shredder etc but both ace.

    What are you after though? Something where you follow your nose or follow the signs? That can have a huge bearing on suggestions as well…

    Head North to Golspie and Balblair? If you’re looking for trail centre riding, they are both great fun!

    I’m with Legend – that has to be one of the worst videos ever!

    I’ve never ridden Shreddies at A, but can only assume it’s a bit like Kelpies Staircase at Carron Valley.

    Anyway, have you explored the Touch Hills (superb four hour off-road circuit from Cambu), done a Ochils traverse (Glendevon to Sherrifmuir), or explored the mass of trails through the local woods?

    Personally I’m still giggling from the descent via Burnwarroch that I did in May!

    lol i have better north third videos than that!

    yeah i know it well we normally do the 3 cliffs then down to cambo woods, the shredder was great as it flowed so well! i do all of the lower cambo except the last big gap jump not worked up to that yet!
