Hi Dryroasted, we had planned to do cairnsmore of fleet and the merrick in a few months time, but if its not too bad just now we might go sooner rather than later, the lad im going with has done them a few times so i’ll be in good hands (hopefully lol)
Hi Dan, ive spent many’s a day exploring them hills. alot of it is shooting ground and Stair estates isnt too keen on trails been built but clearing deer paths and all isnt really a problem, its more finding the time to make trails, better with a few pair of hands. Very boggy up that area too but plenty fun to be had.
I was up Dupin hill tonight, couple mile climb, twintrack, very wet and muddy, then onto sodden wet fields, back to track which was pretty eroded and muddy so no great speed on the decend, was like biking over rather large stones and strips of mud, gets you out and wasnt too bad to decend but couldnt get the speed up with all the mud in the eyes lol. crossed the A77 over to Penderry hill area, quite a good wee decend there to be had but its in need of pruning, might take the folding saw nxt time 😉
Been talking about doing the Barrhill run tomorrow, will have to see
