    Well Glen tress is good but at the Weekend seams to be full of folk who dont value there own life . pushing your bike back up the trails is so stupid and very dangerous .Putting the folk who are using the trails in the correct direction at risk .

    SO DONT PUSH BACK UP THE TRAIL .

    I'm there almost every weekend, sometimes twice a weekend and have never had any problem with this. Have almost run into someone as I came out of a bombhole and they had stopped to look at what gear they were in right in the middle of the track but never found anyone pushing dangerously back up the track.

    I have seen it happen quite a lot at the freeride area, before the ladder drops.
    Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

    People that do that are stupid, there are paths up the sides of the trails (at the fr bit).

    I live between both Glasgow and Edinburgh also.
    Have you tried Carron Valley ? not very exciting but a good introduction to what is on offer at 7 stanes.
    For me Glentress black ,and red sometimes, have pretty much got it right but my favourite of all is Innerliethen which is a good mix of everything and not so busy as GT.
    The others are maybe a bit of a travel depening whereabouts you are exactly but worth the trip none the less..
