Some shots from last month at Kirroughtree, one of the mtn bike parks in Scotland, the "7 Stanes" (http://www.7stanes.gov.uk/) as they call them. All professionally designed, bikes only, seriously good trail.

I was cooked by the end of it. The "McMoab" section was like nothing I'd ever ridden, about a mile of exposed granite with arrows painted on it to tell you which way to go (or in my case, crash)

It's a WWI war memorial - kinda weird as it's out there in the middle of nowhere.

I'm certain there was a large battle fought at that location. Obelisks are usually built with location and purpose in mind.
