This vlog is based at Newcastleton 7 Stanes MTB trails. In this vlog I travelled to the trails with Alan from Ridelines MTB Tuition. We had heard about the construction of a new purpose built flow trail which extended Newcastleton's most iconic descent - Hidden Valley Trail.
Newcastleton Forest stretches to the border with England, where it meets Kielder Forest - making it part of the largest forest in Britain. It’s a powerhouse for timber production, but the forest is also home to a rich variety of wildlife as well as many remnants of its earlier history when the hills were dotted with ancient settlements.
The trailhead is situated at the square in the centre of the village, Newcastleton. In short the trails consist of:
LINNS ROUTE (8KM, GREEN)
Entirely on forest roads, but there are plenty of hills and some great scenery to enjoy.
BLUE ROUTE (9.7KM, BLUE)
This mellow trail begins with a quick descent between the trees. It’s not that technical but still shedloads of fun, with berms, wooden boardwalks, optional rock steps and some sweet singletrack.
RED ROUTE (23.7KM, RED)
The ‘advanced’ route is only 50 per cent singletrack with a lot of fireroad and is easier than other 7S tanes reds. It also contains the flow trail that we were looking for.
SKILLS PARK (PURPLE)
Three short trails focus on different aspects of riding, with drop-off, flow and technical options. There’s also a dual slalom and pump track.
The video was edited on Filmora X.
