The trails
Larg Hill (blue, 10.5km, technicality 2/5) and Doon Hill extension (blue, 4km, technicality 2/5)
The Larg Hill loop climbs along The Twister, but sticks to forest roads when the red route moves onto singletrack. The Doon Hill extension adds singletrack and more forest roads to the route.
