Carron Valley MTB

A few weeks ago, in the pouring rain, a friend and I headed up to Carron Valley for a little night cycling. I liked this route rather a lot but it did highlight the requirement for a helemt light. Some corners are quite sharp and on the runway it's nice to be able to glance to where you are inevitably heading. Apparently there are owls lurking around and they have been known to swoop down or at least be flying across your path. Didn't have that issue, cause it was so wet they were all at home watching a remastered DVD of Hitchcock's "The Birds". Would suggest spare trousers just in case. As I imagine it might be a bit "startling".
Gates close around 7 in winter but there is space for a few cars to each side of the gate.
