    Tips

    Mountain biking

    newly resurfaced-now more like "the grey road", gravel to the mid section then climb to between kips is still singletrack, great track, easy mountain bike or could gravel bike it at present. I have uploaded a picture of the new section and the singletrack section

    Mountain biking

    Very smooth gravel at either end with a small bit of bumpy singletrack in the middle through the moorland.

    Mountain biking

    Smooth gravel track climb on the Balerno side. Chunkier gravel farm track climb on the Penicuik side. 'Natural' trail in the middle - sand, rocks, grass, sheep!
