Flotterstone Car Park

Highlight • Parking

Good if you are coming by car. Not great if you are leaving/arriving by bike, it leads to a busy road without designated cycling space.

Glencorse Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Great waterfall tucked away in the small glen below the reservoir. Well worth the detour!

View of Glencorse Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

It can get quite technical in certain parts of the trail and perhaps more suitable for mountain bikers in certain segments. But if you are going slow on gravel bike, you should be fine (that's what I did).

A useful way to access the Pentlands from Currie. Ideal for linking up with the final climb to the scalextric descent.

The Red Road, Pentland Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

newly resurfaced-now more like "the grey road", gravel to the mid section then climb to between kips is still singletrack, great track, easy mountain bike or could gravel bike it …
