Oh boy, the 7 stanes hadn't set the heather on fire yet and this was going to be our last chance to get a buzz.
Sol, Saunders and I had a go at the shortened blue route and I was immediately aware that these trails were a considerable cut above the other two.
The Blue trail had switchbacks, something they forgot about on the Ae blue, and jumps BLOODY loads of jumps. Sol was very impressed.
Things were looking good for when Saunders and I returned to do the Red the next day.
Well they've done it. The trail seemed to have everything but the kitchen sink, two features I didn't even do, a nasty root section and a big chute. The Glentress Red route beats Golspies Red for shear scale and variety, oh and nice views
The highlight would probably have to be the Spooky Wood. You can tell something good is going to happen with everyone congregating at the top and savouring the building excitement of what is to follow.
Oh yes we shall return, but only to Glentress to do the Black, and Red and the Blue. OK we'll do the Green too !
It was a bit messy though.
Glentress only 9/10 because I'm saving that extra point for when I go back.
