DURRIS FOREST

Length: 43km
Neeps Fitness Grading: Medium
Neeps Technical Grading: Easy except for coming off the summit of Cairn-Mon-Earn which was hard red.


The route - starting from Peterculter heritage hall where we returned to at the end of the ride for tea, cakes and medals.



Only one mechanical - a broken chain which was fixed by Terry in the time it took me to eat two oat cakes. Dan in the background keeping himself amused while the mechanical was being dealt with.

Looking for the single track off Cairn-Mon-Earn. It started 180 degrees in the opposite way we were looking, but we eventually found it. Reading the instructions on how to find the start of it helped.....
