Thornielee has a steep reputation but isn't all crazy... | MTB Scotland
Thornielee has a reputation in the Tweed Valley for being one of the steepest MTB trail areas... we'll show you some of the friendlier trails you can hit though!
South of the famous Innerleithen mountain biking mecca in Scotland, this hill boasts a number of really good shorter trails, all accessed by the same fireroad up. Expect technical sections, chutes and rocks. You'll experience the trail from our POV and get a feel for what to expect if it's your first time here.
Subscribe for more enduro mtb vlogs and a bit of bikepacking thrown in too. Based in Scotland but riding all over.
Bikes: Vitus Sommet CRX and E-Sommet CRS

With some of Scotland's best scenery and connecting Glasgow to Fort William, it's obvious why this trail is so popular.

    It was good to see a lot of my old haunts as I grew up in Tarland fifty plus years ago and as a boy cycled all over on my road bike from Aberdeen to Balmoral with a couple of friends but have always hankered to get out into the wilderness on a bike and explore some of the tracks I see travelling back to Deeside from the Central Belt that meander into the hills. I now have the perfect tool my eMTB but age is not on my side but not done yet I hope. I never really remember the Midge growing up that was until I moved to Kintyre and then on to The Isle of Lewis where they are bred differently so I felt your pain with the bites as they always seem to go for my mouth also and anywhere else that is exposed.

    • @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB
      @LauraJaneWeeTamMTB 13 дней назад

      Lovely place to grow up. Thanks for sharing! Hopefully with the eMTB you can explore some of those routes! I'll definitely be doing some more up that way. Spectacular riding and views to match. Haha I can imagine the midgies are brutal there - they do say the west is on another level for them!

Loch Lomond bit still looks hellish. Is your bike for these trips different from your enduro one? With bikepacking stuff it can feel really weird getting the balance right on techy bits. Looking forward to your Deeside Trail vid.

      Thank you! It's a great route by bike (except for the loch lomond section which can be avoided/rerouted if wished). I personally would say yes - the difficulty/enjoyment is very similar both ways but there's the big advantage of being able to see walkers coming (as most walk north) otherwise you will be constantly stopping and saying excuse me. Would be tiring the whole way!

      thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Haha well it's doable in a day with the amount of daylight in summer if you wanted to pack light and avoid overnight. If sleeping then just took absolute essentials - tent, mat, sleeping bag. I think, sunglasses, high energy bars/food (take more than you think you need!), a good waterproof jacket (weather can change so fast!), a small first aid kit - although there will be walkers aplenty. There are a few places to fill up water on route but some stretches don't have lots so I opted for carrying about 2l of water. Hope that helps and enjoy!!
