Always a good time at GT. Some trails still closed as a result of storm Arwen, but the primary ones are open and running well, plus a number of off-piste ones as well.

Fantastic mountain biking!! Well kept and very well designed trails. All abilities catered for. Challenge your limits or take the family. Be warned though, there are some tough climb's. Nice food in the café but expensive. Who wants alacarte sandwiches after a days riding, give me a reasonably priced bacon roll...........

Simply the best mountain bike venue within easy driving distance of Edinburgh. Personal favourites are Spooky Wood (red) and the descent of Falla Brae/ Good Game (blue with red options) but there are trails here for all ages and abilities.

Brilliant and well maintained trails easy maps to understand where to ride. Cafe is great as all food is tasty and reasonably priced. Irritating problem as the cafe stops hot food at 4pm, the time most people finish riding, overall great place though.

Probably the best singletrack mountain biking center I've been to, the red route is exciting, flowing and full of berms and jumps, the climbs are interesting and there are by far and away the best blue routes I've seen. Heartily recommended
