Hi everyone,

I wondered if there were any trails/routes west of the Whangie that could be incorporated in a cycle. There seems to be a lot of land out that way that is untapped (by myself anyway).

Thank you

Well that is my weekend planned. ๐Ÿ™‚ Which direction (Clockwise/anti clockwise) is best as my browser is not letting me see the direction of points?

Thank you for your help.

ive done that route clockwise. i think we did it in the summer and even then it was a bit boggy and hikey. i should imagine that after the recent weather it will be wetter than an otters pocket up there. but good luck to you.

ahhh that could be an issue... maybe just hide in and around Mugdock until it dries out a bit! Does anyone know if revamp work has finished at Carron Valley?

Some reasonable riding and excellent views - it was rideable tho heavy going when we were there a couple of weekends ago. Unless youre a strong rider I would anticipate a bit more pushing after the last week. We had some interesting route finding after leaving Milngavie and then finding the route to Burncrooks Reservoir (tho not as bad as another poor sod we saw pushing along the southern side as light was fast failing)

Don't fancy trying it anti-clockwise tho no doubt someone out there will prefer it that way
