Information on trail closures and diversions, changes to scheduled events, and forest operations.
Trails all open
The '10 at Kirroughtree' 10hr endurance event is taking place on Saturday 10 July. The event will include parts of the blue and red route out as far as the start of the 'White Witch'. The way marked trails will still be open but please give way to the 500+ competitors taking part.
Tree Harvesting at Glentrool
Harvesting operations are taking place at Glentrool. There will be timber lorries and harvesting machines working in this area. Although we hope to minimise diversions on paths/trails, please check the trail diversions information below.
Please adhere to all on site signage and take extra care. Any diversions that do have to be implemented will be noted here and on the 7stanes website if trail routes are affected.
Visitor centres
Visitor centres and toilets are now open at Glentrool, Kirroughtree and Claterringshaws.
Trail closures
None at present.
Trail diversions
Due to forest works at Kirroughtree the start of the green cycle route and the papy ha trail have been diverted. This work also affects the final forest road section of all bike routes. Please follow all diversions that are in place. We hope to have this work finished for 29th/30th June.
The Southern Upland Way section of the Loch Trool green trail is diverted due to forest operations. This will be in place for roughly two months. Please follow diversion signs on the ground. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Event changes
There are currently no changes to any of our scheduled events.
