A classic descent and would say its on the easier end of a red trail will all but a couple of features completely rollable. Some of the lower switchbacks require careful breaking but for the most part its just a fun cruisey trail that can be enjoyed at any speed.

Part of the red route descent at Glentress Forest. I did this on a 100mm hardtail. To do the first few drops, I would recommend a full sus.

But you can ride around these, as I did. Not much you can't ride here on a hardtail. Fab place to be, never get fed up of it.

Great descent with some smallish drops to start off with berms and rollers all the way to the end. Some slightly more techie rock features in places but these can be ridden around if you’re less confident 👍
