Finishing off the Black run with the second section of the Blue down to the car park?
Keep your eyes and ears peeled for dog walkers on the trail. Over half the time we have been down this section we have come across dog walkers. The last couple today was two old ladies and a dog. My son was only yards from running into them. Fortunately he was not travelling at his usual speeds along this section and managed to stop. They both said they knew they should not be on the track and apologised. But still used the trail.

I have thought about calling the Local forestry commission office but the signs are clear and like the two had read them. Any ideas what we can do? On another day it would have been a sorry end to a good ride.

    Hey - i too use this as a regular run and have noticed the blue run back to the car park is heavily used by dog walkers!! :evil:

    Nearly crashed into a Black Lab dog loose on the bottom of that run and the owner didn't even apologise!!

    By the way - where abouts are you from are you local to Balblair?
    It's been a while...
