Certainly did get me moneys worth, the trails at Drumlanrig were fantastic and now and again I dont mind pay per ride. But if you guide a carload of bikers through the main gate and charge me to ride the swings as well you are taking the p**s.
I didn't go to look at Hostas, Escallonia and Tulips, so why charge me(us) for the privilege.
Just a thought - how much to park in your local town centre - bet there would be uproar from traders if the council stuck us for a £24 charge daily

Drum isn't a town centre, it's a rich bloke's garden.
Drum has been hammered by wind and harvesting but the red is pretty much complete and I'm working on the rangers/forestry dept to get the black finish sorted.
The first black is mashed under all the harvesting and will need rebuilt as will the last bit of red by the river..
I know it seems pricey but as has been said above you can ride all day for a comparatively cheap price compared to drinking beer or a cinema showing and the estate makes a helluva lot less out of mountain bikers than the other industries mentioned.
It'll cost a fair whack to rebuild the mashed trail which has to come out of the entrance revenue, simple as that and it doesn't strim itself or clear the windblow on its own.
Cheers for the positive comments above it all helps when negotiating new trail expenditure.
To ride at Drumlanrig cheaper buy a season ticket for £15 or a family season ticket for £25 for the whole year (2adults 3 kids), and the park is getting a big revamp right now....
