After what seemed like an eternity waiting, Scotland's newest trail centre is finally open to the public. It was 100% worth the wait though.
I'm genuinely impressed with the job that's been done at Tarland and I truly believe that it's going to massively boost mountain biking in Aberdeenshire and beyond.
Get yourselves to Tarland!

Thanks for the shout out Andrew. I loved how you rode about 3 berms and decided you loved the place! I was the same. Finally we have a serious trail centre offering trails that we rarely get to ride. But more than that, the quality of the build is next level. Just imagine CRC had designed and built the Blue Doon! Perfect trail centre. Just perfect. P.s. let's get to Fools Gold and try and nail it!

I don’t feel the two places are actually comparable. One is a trail centre without an uplift, and the other one is a bike park with uplifts. Tarland is a better destination, and for appealing to the masses, I.E people of all levels should be able to enjoy the trails. Dyfi is aimed more towards the intermediate to advanced riders and has amazing features as a result.

@flippy66
@flippy66 Год назад
Totally agree, the bike park scene is non-existent in Scotland, and we've got places like Nevis Range squandering their opportunities. Places like this just show what is possible. THAT is what a blue flow trail should be, totally rollable and safe but fun for anyone. Send the Tarland trail builders to Glencoe, Glenshee and Nevis Range! One point, we need to ditch orange grade, it's not helpful. Look at the Alps and Canada, black trails (e.g. A-line) are still entirely rollable with chicken lines, but the black grade indicates the size of the jumps and features. I think that is a better way of doing it than orange, which is not used consistently and doesn't really say anything about the trail. All of these trails could be orange.
@McTrailRider
@McTrailRider Год назад
I agree fully with your thoughts regarding some of the other destinations in Scotland and what they could be. The grading system is always tough to get right and I adjusts take them with a pinch of salt.
@HankBizzle
@HankBizzle Год назад
I totally agree with dropping the stupid orange grading, the North American bike parks just label them as flow or tech trails and give them the appropriate colour for their difficulty. Just remember if you ever go to a NA bike park that the colour codes are different, they have Blue, Black, Double Black an THEN Red, unless you are a pro you stay the hell off the red trails 😅

More likely to do with oil than teeth in Aberdeenshire.

Probably not, but there’s a camp site in the village and many quiet spots nearby.

I enjoyed the trails but they are not for everyone. I appreciate its meant to be flow orientated but it was more like very smooth BMX tracks and they are all very samey. No variation between grades etc. Good for families or a blast if nearby. Personally I probably won't be back but it's very subjective.

When I say that they are for everyone, I mean from an ability point of view I.e almost all abilities can ride the same trails as each other. Almost every other trail in Scotland is more techy, so it’s nice to have some flow trails👍

Not at the Trail centre itself, but quite possibly at one of the nearby bike shops. 20Twenty bikes may be able to help you.

Nope. This is a trail centre rather than a bike park.

The Golfie isn’t a trail centre and Inners is about 95% off piste, so I don’t really include them against Tarland.

Tarland. It would be better off tarred. Miles of samey twisty tracks with not a rock or root in sight. Kids will like it as it will give them a chance to show off. Glenlivet on steroids, Jeez.

Thankfully there’s rocks and roots to be had everywhere else in the area. Flow trails is something that we don’t have much of though.

I rode on opening day and I've described this to friends as like a BMX track but everything is huge and on a slope. That won't appeal to everyone, but it's a great contrast to the natural / tech trails in the north east, see Ben Cathro's pinkbike piece on Aberdeenshire. Going through the huge compressions and jumps I can only say I felt like a fighter pilot.
