Mtb Trail Riding "Marley and me into farm track" North Third Trails, Stirling, Scotland.
Marley and Me is a trail descending from near the top of the North Third hill resevior, some flow features near the top, actually this trail continues on further but becomes very technical and couldnt ride, not sure if just not maintained and there appears to be no exit to the forest road at bottom of trail.
At the bottom of Marley and me went up the forest road back onto the farm track which is an easy connection path that can take you to the top of North Third Resevior Hill that is also fun to ride down.

The Max handles low light not too bad I usually keep protune and automatic exposure settings and adjust the EV settings according to how bright it is most of this is ev -1.

Most of the singletrack paths have been brutal - ranging from bogs and tussocky grass to flattened grass - all difficult to ride on - especially uphill 😅.

It's great to see people take on the Southern Upland Way, this part going from Traquair to Three Brethren overall was very ridable which cuts through the Innerleithen MTB trails, there was one part of original trail cut off for forestry work however took the minch moor ascent and got back onto the Southern Upland Way further up so no probs. A couple of boggy bits but nothing you couldnt walk or ride around. Really enjoyed this trip may consider SUW one day or maybe different sections, cheers! 😁👍

      Not far from the train station Stoozer. Once youve sessioned Electric Beaver a couple of times it's great fun. There's a few other red grade trail just off this one too. Dunkeld got dozens of trails, admittidely cant ride most of them but not short of places to ride, there's a few xc routes one bigger one up to loch Ordie. You also have a trail called Pink Floyd which is further up the hill from Electric Beaver, hada laugh trying to ride in wet but would be much better in the dry. Thanks for comment and will have to organise day up to Dunkeld, will be in touch, all the best Gary 😁🤙

    A wonderful day for it pal. Gutted that I could not join you. Well done and well ridden. I came up a different way on a track that was steep but a lot easier to ride. Well done going down on the Carn Ban Mor descent. Cheers. Stoozer. 👍🏻

      Thank you Stoozer, I think I know which way you came up bumped into another rider who was on his way down told me about the easier way up will try to find next time. The Carn Bam Mor descent was great few steep bits and water bars I chose to walk over to avoid risk of either dinging one of my wheels or getting a pinch flat which happened to me one time in Glencoe whilst trying to jump a water bar. I'm sure we'll get another time we can head back up and maybe try another route, all the best Gary 😁🤙

    Wow that is a nice trail Gary. Tight fast single track a bit tech in places. I did Mabie all the was back in 2008. My favourite section was the Descender Bender. Is it still there? I do't remember this section. Nice video pal. Stoozer. 👍🏻

      I do enjoy riding this part of the Elevator trail Stoozer, its great having the ebike to tackle the uphill tech bits, pretty much managed to ride whole thing with exception of one bit I misjudged but could have probably sessioned and got it. Descender Bender has two parts to it Upper and Lower Descender bender, will be sharing these videos in due course. It's still a big red circuit made up of different trails. Thanks for comment and all the best, Gary 😁🤙

      Thank you Christoph, the climb up was a tough one apparently was an eaiser way up which I found out about from another rider when I was near the top, was initally dubious about coming back down the same way but done it none the less, enjoyed and glad I done it. The views were spectacular from the top it was a very clear day was very popular with other people who were enjoying thier trip also. Perfect conditions for flying drone. If youre ever considering riding a Munro mountain in Scotland recommend these two. Comment appreciated as always and have a great weekend hopefully get some riding in, cheers! 😁🤙
