Thinning in progress.

Thinning, Balfour Forest

A community woodland. There are few old trees here, the area was nearly clear felled completely in the two big twentieth century wars - there was a Canadian work camp nearby in World War II. The few trees which survived the war were taken out by the great gale of 1953. The forest is now restored.

Kittling Wood

The forest at Balfour, now restored after complete destruction by wartime logging camps and the gale of 1953. The track leads to a field, but there is a fine bit of singletrack continuing into the woods.

Field, Balfour

Between the house and forest. Black Hill in the background, like most woodland here was stripped of trees by wartime lumber camps and the 1953 gale.

The Bimble

Single track in the very runnable Balfour Forest.

Balfour Forest

Singletrack, nicknamed The Bimble through very open woodland. It is a lovely easy run on the bike.

The Canadian Road

Named after the World War II lumberjacks who felled almost everything that survived World War I. Any remaining trees in Balfour Forest were finished off by the gale of January 1953. (The one which killed thousands around the North Sea).

Whitehill Wood

A beautiful runnable forest, restored after destruction in the mid 20th century. It was felled in both wars and the remnants finished off by the disastrous storm of 1953.

Quarry, Achnafoy

The Canadian Road ends here in a grassed over quarry. There is a gate at the far side which leads to a disused road in the forest. From here a path leads down to the Balfour to Kinminity road. Goes a treat on a bike, lovely singletrack.
