I'm happy to ride as sweeper on either hard or easy routes, pull folk out the trees, rescue bikes that sort of thing.
Might I suggest RobMac, if he is a first aider as he has said, bring his medic kit with him just in case.
I still think the black climb is a very doable and old school choice with great veiws but the red descent from spooky will be the biggest grin factor for the adrenaline junkies.

Best not to ask Velo about his broken collar bone Spooky Woods run thenTazio":q1k6jziq said:
Actually, I think first timers are likely to get on better due to simply being more cautious on an unknown trail, than folks who know it well and are used to riding it at speed on a modern bike :shock: Note to self...

It's the youth that worry me. Young guys on full suss bikes seem to be oblivious to danger or surroundings. Even the Water Of Leith path can be a danger with them hooring past at full speed on the rare twisty bits. Though I did have a good laugh at one attempting to get up a set of steps without slowing down. He shot past me as I stopped to shoulder my bike to walk up them. He managed about 4 steps and bounced (literally) into a huge bush.
