Back – and thanks again for the recommendations. Did Glentress Red and bits of black. Red a bit too smooth and groomed I thought. Black ranged from boring slog to sections that were too much for me.
Innerleithen I thought was really great – well draining man made track but with a remoteness and quiet that appealed. Funnily enough it was the step-ups on the climb rather than Minch Moor ascent that saw the Mrs “Red Mist” descend. They ought to lose the signposted short-cut..people are really short-changing themselves as the climb is ok,the views from the top superb and the down off was a great start to a never ending first rate downhill.
Had forgotten the advice re Drumlanrig, but was recommended again at the wedding and dropped by on the way home. Very nice but not for those who don’t like their twisty roots. Good place to go if you have non-riders to keep happy as well I would have thought.
Loads more women riding north of the border than darn sarf!
