So who fancies a trip to Tarland this spring?

Definitely, but midweek. That place is going to be hoaching every weekend this summer.

Looks fun, depending on when? I might tag along, it’s a new place to crash!

One of the newish loops at Ballater. Was kind of hush hush when I did it, but it’s popularity has exploded once word hit the internet. Big old climb but good long descent.

Tarland is just a tiny Aberdeenshire village that got funding for a small bike part 8-10 years ago. Part two is about to open as a proper trail centre. The only one in Aberdeenshire, hence the local excitement.
