Skills Area - Kirroughtree
The skills area at Kirroughtree offers Blue, Red and Black-graded loops in the fenced area of woods next to the lead out from the car park. Test your skill level before riding the trails or just come and play!
Information boards are located throughout the site to give riding tips if you need them, (if you do don't start on the black grade stuff, practice on the blue and red first.) Whichever you start on don't miss the Bomb Hole on the return to the car park, if you carry any sort of speed into it air time is guaranteed.
One of the best skills areas in Scotland.
