The SplashTracks bus takes customers up to the top of Griffin Hill saving 40mins of steep uphill biking. Then we bike along the easier tops through forestry roads with panoramic views passed lochans, then we descend a long moderate downhill through open land with beautiful views overlooking StrathBrann to the river Brann for tea and coffee in the woods by the spectacular rumbling Brig waterfall. There are no big uphill climbs on this trek, making this trip ideal for groups of mixed abilities, allowing the group to cover the distance enjoyably and take in the scenery.
