Drumlanrig - ACE.Lovely natural feel. Ridden the red in the wettest conditions and was fine. Not sure how i'd manage the black in the wet though ๐Ÿ™‚ Nice challenge.

Diane - I'm looking forward to riding there in the wet think it will be a good challenge, the Kirroughtree SXC Course was like a tribute to Drumlanrig it was very rooty on the natural stuff ๐Ÿ™‚

So other than roots what features has Drum got going for it? I often think of going for a session there on my way South from Glasgow

To be fair, Drumlanrig is alright, but its nowt special.
I've only been a couple of times, but If I'm honest, I found the sheer quantity of slippery roots and tight turns a bit tedious. That and the fact they appeared to be interspersed with thick mud sections.

It certainly doesn't flow and provide the big grin factor of a swoopy downhill section. BUT, I'm probably too carp a rider to get the most out of it.

Drumlanrig has got a natural feel to it, it is quite technical and your right it doesn't run fast for all the twists turns and technical bits and I think it's that which gives it a certain charm its just different to the other local 7Stanes trails.

No mud on Friday ๐Ÿ™‚ But can imagine some prolonged rain would make it so
