A fantastic singletrack descent from Fala Knowe to the trail above Glencourse. Narrow, technical and with lots of little features to keep it fascinating. Best ridden in dry weather.

You can ride up, it's obviously harder, but lots of fun in the dry. Bit of a slog in the wet.

Climbed this from Glencourse to Fala Knowe, boggy in places and has been very dry recently. I would advise better done in the reverse direction as a downhill. Lot of little bridges and at times very narrow singletrack but still rideable. Just would have been more enjoyable other way round.
