A return to Glentress!

 We went for a cycle midweek to Glentress, on the fatbikes for a giggle and to see the new trails recently built, which we had a go on after a ride around the blue route...


It was a damp day and the rails were muddy in places, as expected after such a damp winter but we still had a good laugh!
