p.s. There are no red dots.....
But there was a chap with a suspected broken leg at the burn crossing
Aye, they've stopped doing it. Tbh it shouldn't really make any difference, as most folk have said, first couple of runs should be a learning exercise really.
The red dots were definitely useful in the first couple of years when the trail was still kind of full of holes and lines that went nowhere, but a lot of those have been tweaked or just became obviously not good options as it wore in. I'd definitely have missed them on version 1 of the trail but maybe it's not so valuable now?
OTOH there's a couple of sections in the bedrock where they used to mark a deliberately more interesting line, and now probably everyone just rides through the easiest/most obvious one. Kind of like mcmoab, they'd marked the line they thought was most fun.
