[Closed] Show me the trail you made.....

Carron Valley...I was part of the team...before that I'd turn up at Glentress to volunteer...

There had always been a narrow vague footpath along here above the coast but it was a struggle to even walk it with out ducking under low branches, wading through brambles and walking over a crumbled wall.
About 7 years a go i started to "tweak" the trail cutting back low branches, shrubbery, and moving the trail in a couple of places around and over roots and through the WW2 Anti invasion tank blocks.
I even using the crumbling wall as a feature - which revealed a crucifix carved on a sone, wonder who and when did that?... quiet a lot of churchy stuff around here with St Baldred and Whitekirk nearby - the seat of Scotlands oldest church...
Anyway here is what we call the Secret trail, secret because the start/finish is often missed by visitors to Tyninghame coast who walk straight down onto the beach...

It is at 4mins 20 secs on the film.

2 Geocach sites at either end has transformed it to a well walked path now and it is better for it but still techy in places and your doing well to ride it without footing. Being sand based it is rideable year round and ace at night too 🙂

Don`t need a fatty bike to ride it, i was heading to the dunes after 😉

And in the opposite direction
🙂

Even if I had some evidence of what we've cleared, I'd think twice about putting it up here. Some of the local DH runs have been victims of their own success and I'd not want to see that kind of impact on low key trails that can't really handle the traffic.

Not "my" trail as such, there were people riding over there for years, then an official trail was built, then we took it over, rerouted it and fixed it up. But I'm still very proud of it.

I'd think twice about putting it up here

Were ok, everyone else around here plays golf

Those look good thanks! Although my sections are all about 30 seconds long so don't really compare to your trails!
