Most are going to recommend GT and Inners as a 1stop do it all 🙄
I however live in the D&G area therefore biased towards that area 😉
If you add Drumlanrig into the equation you have a bigger variety of trails to sample…
If you don’t want to spend too much time driving around but want to do Kirry;
Drive up to Dumfries, do Mabie. Find accom in Newton Stewart for Fri night. Ride Kirry on Sat and drive over to GT/Inners 💡
Kirry black takes approx 4hrs depending on diversions, add on a 3hr drive to GT/Peebles/Inners. You could be there for a wee evening play before pub time 😆
