Not very long, probably about 2 hours for both red routes and the blue at a steady pace. Not muddy, its classic trail centre stuff. Its also good fun

Very good fun, excellent decents, 2 hours to do north & south loop,you'd probably want to do the south loop twice. Prefer it to the glentress red run, although prefer the innerleithen red run, if thats any guage. Definitely worth a visit

It's a good trail centre. Haven't been since the blue opened but the reds are well worth the visit.

Pick it up and put it down in any other part of the country and it would be good. However it is slap bang in the middle of some of the finest natural trails in the UK.

Riding the Altura trail is like going to a brothel and only getting a kiss.

Thats as maybe, but I don't know the area and takes me nearly 3 hours to get there so sometimes you just need some signposting.

One of my fave trail centres. I know its in the middle of some superb natural trails, but it has its bonuses. Oh and there is a hose pipe ban in the lakes now and the driest period since about 1921! or somethink...

It's good but I wouldn't drive for 3 hours to go and do it.
