Swedish trailbuilders visit to Glentress

Last week we had the pleasure of showing 3 visitors from Sweden the trails at Glentress and Innerleithen 7stanes centres. Niklas, Per and Erik are part of a trailbuilding group that are developing mtb trails at Falun in Sweden so were keen to learn about how we build and maintain the trails here as well as getting plenty of riding in.

Cue lots of riding, big smiles and plenty of trailbuilding chat. I think they really enjoyed the trails and their visit.

They've done a write up on their blog including an article with some beautiful pictures of the trails (which proves the sun does shine in Scotland sometimes!).

Here's a link to it translated from Swedish:

The translation's a little wonky but still absolutely readable, oh and “stigbyggarskola” means “trail building school”, “leads” or “joints” means “trails”.

cheers,
