Trails: All open except Dougie Bank climb, closed until mid April due to construction of new Blue descent (alternative to Falla Brae).

Falla Brae, the final shared descent back to the trailhead used by the Blue, Red and Black routes has been regraded to Red. Blue route riders should expect steeper, narrower and rougher surfaces with rooty and rocky sections. If in doubt about a section, please walk it.

Conditions: Good.

Diversions: Dougie Bank diversion: at post 5 follow diversion up forest road rejoining routes at post 6.

Other: Note small increase in parking charges at Glentress: £3/day for car or motorbike; £6/day for van or minibus; £1 for short stay (up to 1 hour).

XC Trails: XC route fully open.
