Yep, Berm Baby Berm is now open for business!
700m of bermy*, flowy, occasionally jumpy and pumpy blue grade singletrack to take you from the exit of Blue Velvet back to the Buzzards Nest carpark, on the Blue Route at Glentress. It replaces the forest road descent and will hopefully put a smile on your face.
With the dry, hot weather of late and with the trail just opened, the trail surface is a little more vulnerable to possible wear as it beds in/hardens, so please try not to skid on it.
Please note: the section of trail is so new it's not detailed on the current (tear off) bike trail maps (available at the trailhead) or on the downloadable pdf trail map on the Glentress & Innerleithen pages of the 7stanes website.
As with all our trails and facilities, feedback is something we like very much. Let us know what you think of the new section - add your comments here on the blog, email andy.wardman@forestry.gsi.gov.uk or grab a Ranger at Glentress.
Cheers,
Andy (MTB Ranger)
*Berm - a steeply banked corner, insloped. The berms on the new section are also flatter on the inside of the turns.
