Behind the Golf Course at Innerliethen in the Borders is a timber road that descends steeply from an old water tank on top of the hill to the road below. There is a short single track section from the tank then 2-3 tight bends on the steep timber road to the bottom. Total descent time is short, a couple of minutes but loose surface corners
