Volunteers are wanted to give an hour or so to give thoughts or maybe even contribute to a discussion on the topic. Register your interest or send them a suggestion of where in the park you like to cycle. [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james-maclaren Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 A footpath (the red route) has opened up between Locherwood Community Woodland and Muirshiel. Not well marked though, but Emma and myself found our way on mountain bikes from the Locherwood carpark to the style at the edge of the wood. From there it was a bit hit or miss as to what is path and what is rough moorland. We crossed the style but then found the path very boggy. We actually found it easier going by crossing back over the wall and going down the wood side of the wall to the corner, crossing over into the field and continuing in the same direction then turning right to a gate part way up Windy Hill. We then headed down the path to the visitor centre and down the road and on back to Locherwood. A good afternoon's entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted April 9, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 James, Having done that path a few times, and as you say, the bit from WIndy Hill to the wall is a bit hit and miss!! I've bike up a Muirshiel for over 20 years, so I might give them a few of my thoughts. Cheers, R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
