Whiteash: The Fochabers Ring and Fochabers Freeride

 

Start point:

The Winding Walks Car Park (see how to get there).

The Fochabers Ring

Grade: red (difficult) 

A varied and full-on cross country trail of around 8km that you’ll want to ride again and again.  Firstly there's a “no pain, no gain” climb up to the monument - and then the fun starts. A sense of adventure is essential; Hobbit’s hairy feet optional! Distance roughly 8km (5 miles). 

Fochabers Freeride

Grade: orange (bike park extreme) 

This trail is for advanced riders only.  No matter how good you are – walk it before you ride it!

Initially built almost entirely by volunteers, this is where the whole Monster Trails project started. Follow “The Ring” to the monument and then prepare for some very wild and scary riding!  The top section of the Freeride trail includes big, technical Northshore wooden structures.  Please make sure you’re capable of this style of riding – most of us aren’t.  

The second section of the trail has big earth features, drops and jumps. After section two, rejoin “The Ring” back to the car park.
