Hi All
I am working in Aberdeen next week and have a small window for an outing on afternoon.
Any suggestions on the best local trails.
As I said, it is only a few hours I will have so Preferably the best "trail centre" type thing rather than a self guided epic.

Kirkhill Forest may be your best bet. Haven't been there for almost a decade but it was good back then for a few hours riding and probably still is.

EDIT; Just had a quick google map sesh and it looks like folk are still riding there - A96 out of the city through Bucksburn.

Pitfichie or a blast around Bennachie.

For a quicky run it has to be Kirkhill. It's just a few minutes drive from the centre of town and it's reasonably easy to find most of the trails that criss cross the hill if you're on your own. A guide would help get the most out of the ride though. I would offer but I doubt I'd get there before 5-5:15 so probably too late for you.

What devs said, Pitfichie over Kirkhill in my opinion.

Yeh I would suggest Kirkhill too, but again I haven't been there for about 11 years. It was great when I lived in Aberdeen and it's probably better now.
