Reviews for Jedforest Mountain Bike Trails

Summary:
Bring a strimmer! Large sections are overgrown and the route signage is poor.

Review:

When you arrive at the car park there are toilets but you have to pay 30p each time you want to go in. There is also a tourist information office that will give you a free map of the Justice Trail. The map they give you shows all the routes you are suppose to be able to ride.

This trail starts off good and then after about half and hour of riding it turns into a total pile of sh*t. Its over grown and not used very often at all by the looks of it. If you really want to do it I recommend you bring your own map of the area and plan a route to skip the parts that are over grown.

You can do this trail without a suspension bike.

But I would have to say just don't do because its not much fun and there are far better places you could go like Glentress.

If you are new to mountain biking this trail may put you off riding for life, Don't do it.

Summary:
Check with the council before you go or be disappointed.

Review:
This route has the potential to be a mint red grade trail if only it had been looked after.

After about a 1/4 of the way round the trail starts to become more and more overgrown until you're really not sure if you still on it any more. If you check the web site you'll find a map which shows areas of the route you should avoid but these aren't marked on the map you get from the tourist information centre at the car park which is pretty damn useless. These are the parts you can't even walk your bike through. We decided to give up at about 1/2 way round because we were sick of struggling to ride the overgrown trail. Sick of taking wrong turns because the trail was so hard to see. There may well be some good bits further on as there was at the start but I for one won't be going back to find out until the council have thoroughly cleared the the trail because otherwise it's just a nightmare. I believe the route was first built in 2005 and people said it was amazing back then. Trust me, it's not now and what a shame it is.

Save your petrol money and go some where else.
