This cycle shows off the old gunpowder dams, as well as some great offroad ways into Tighnabruaich. It also has different way back which lets you, roughly, follow the river from it down to Milllhouse.

Directions

Follow forest loop until the top bench where you turn left instead. At the bottom of the hill turn right then right again. stay on this track and don’t take any of the offshoots until you get to a cattle grid at the start of the Eucalyptus plantation. After going right over the bridge and turning right follow this track until the 1st left and take it all the way down to the road. There’s several deer fence gates to get through which are all usually open, until the last one which is locked, just to the right there is a smaller gate which you can get through. Turn left here and follow the road back to the powder dams. Turn in here and follow that track taking the 3rd right onto the forest loop.
