- A popular new MTB trail at Innerleithen Golfie in Scotland called The Wardell Way. Expect a 4k MTB vlog riding the trail along with another called Flat White. Since opening and being listed on Trailforks this trail has been the talk of the Tweed Valley. Named after Scottish MTB legend Rab Wardell, this is a trail masterpiece.

it's awesome!
Flat white looks awesome! One for the list on my visit south!
It’s good! A bit of a looser rougher macchiato! Definitely a trail that runs best in the wet!
@@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB Blimey - didn't think you could get much rougher than macchiato 🤣
A great trail on a bonnie day, thanks guys 👊
we got lucky with the weather and conditions last week for sure! It's a pleasure 👊
Absolutly nice lines and a great area.. Love to see it :D.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! It’s a nice flow trail!
laura rinsed you there Tambo.. Much love guys....
haha 😂
Hi again ☺ I've gotva pair of wild enduro front and rear due soon are you better with the gum x in winter I do have a new e wild 2.6 in gum x but thought the case felt bit flimsy compared to a dd or dh casing tyre. Thanks again Callum
We run the gum x year round in all conditions and it's been great. However you could easily run a DH tyre too for peace of mind - they will have a stronger casing although more draggy. Might not matter much on an ebike though!
going back up to this EPIC venue in 6 weeks.. Amazing video, the turn off 3G looks hard to find... any tips please? thanks!
Enjoy when it comes! It isn't the most obvious although has been ridden and cut in a lot more since. Just go easy into it and keep an eye out for it after the straight :) you should find it ok!
That's look well good...a little bit of shale and shingle surfing on that new trail...
Thanks again L&T for another bit of monday evening mtb video sunshine 😀👍
Also, if someone could let me know the recommended place to park up to begin the climb to give the these trails a go, I've not been there before? thanks
It is - built really well and a lot of flow to be had! It's a pleasure! Thanks for the comment. Sure, for parking there are a few options... head towards innerleithen golf club and you'll come across two small parking bays 5 mins out of the town before a bridge next to the river. It does get very busy there though so another option is keep going past the clubhouse and once you're over a cattle grid there is a parking bay on the right. We usually get parked there or on the grass near it. Failing that the town is good as you can grab a coffee after if you wish! It's a really good place and loads of trails!
@@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB Thanks for the tips.
Just park in the town, it's a 10 mins ride
Nice video guys what tyres you using please do you find them grippy on the wer roots of tweed Valley thanks 😊
Thanks! We use the Michelin wild enduros. Have always found them to provide amazing grip on the muddiest and wettest conditions 🙂
2.6s front n rear thanks guys 👋
Do you use heavier casings on the e bikes
Ah forgot we were on the ebikes 😅 - standard wild enduros for the regular bikes and we use the heavier duty ebike version (e-wild) on the ebikes 🙂
Awsome thanks 👍. Hope more trees don't come down this winter over the trail centres so much is closed
I did it last week, brill trail but really needs the exit sorting so it doesn't drop square-on to the fireroad.
Yup definitely agree there! Seems a note on Trailforks that a new exit is on the cards at some point
Is the exit from the new one more or less intimidating than the one off Avalanche onto the fireroad?
I'd say less so as it's straighter and not off camber like Avalanche!
@@LauraJaneWeeTamMTB following your recommendation, I rode this trail not once but twice the week before last on our trip. It is a great addition to the hill for sure. The exit was fine despite my trepidation. I also found time to seek out some of your Glentress recommendations from earlier videos which were also excellent. Keep up the great work you do. Thanks.
@@greencroft that's great glad the recommendations were useful and you had a good trip! Some great trails at Glentress. Thank you, we love sharing the vids!
A real tragedy what happened to Rab Wardell it really was. Pretty fitting tribute though. Trail looked really good although with GoPro flattening its quite hard to judge the steepness. How would you compare that to other blacks. Its quite funny how the blacks there are graded. Looked like maybe a 3 grade?
Can't agree more. He was an absolute legend, such a loss. Nice to see this trail built in memory. It's built so well and has really good flow. It's not too steep - makes a good use of the hillside which is different to Avalanche next to it which is more direct down the hill! The exit is steep though. It rides well but it's quite a long chute so committing! Yup it's hard to judge alongside the blacks here - totally different to other countries! I've only got European experience and it's probably a red there with a black exit if that's possible!
It's alright. Compared to most of the other golfie trails it feels like a trail centre trail. The golfie has way more fun challenging and interesting trails to ride. I'd rather slide down avalanche and perfect my skills on that. It shows as well as there were way more people than usual who only seemed to be here for this trail and probs not rode much other stuff. Maybe more people might check out the golfie now. God knows ive tried getting people up to ride and they all seem petrified of giving the golfie a go. This is just my opinion of course.
I think the more variety there is the better. As you say many people are nervous about riding Golfie so having some less intimidating options are good. I think this one is great for skills as it’s hard to ride it consistently and not need to put in pedals. Get your comment tho, everyone will like different stuff 👍
Brake less and it'll be more fun 😁
