“...trails have been specially created to cater to different ability levels and have been graded as such.”





	Highland Wildcat Trails are graded, each requires a different level of fitness, experience and ability. It is important, for your enjoyment and safety, that you select the trail most suitable to your own ability level. These trails have been specially created to cater to different ability levels and have been graded as such. But, trail levels could be affected by weather, the equipment you carry and, most of all, your own fitness level. If you feel tired, take a break, don't push your own limits - the scenery is spectacular, why not enjoy it.



	Each of the trails is fully described - see individual trail pages - but here is a brief guide: Blue Trail (easy to moderate) This is suitable for: beginners, novices or family cyclists - no special skills are required for this grade. Most climbs and descents are shallow, however, they may include short steep sections. The trail surface while mostly hard, may become loose, uneven or muddy at times with changes in weather. Obstacles will be light - the odd tree root or boulder - nothing too taxing. Red Trail (difficult) Definitely for proficient mountain bikers with good off-roading skills - and a good bike! The trail includes a wide range of challenging, steeper climbs and descents. There are berms, boardwalks, large stones, moderate steps and drop offs. Black Trail (severe) This is a physically demanding route for expert mountain bikers. This trail features unavoidable obstacles, prolonged steep, loose and rocky surfaces and exposed open hill sections.
