It offers an awesome adventure ride through some of the uk’s wildest terrain (so be prepared).

The trail takes its name from a location on the border marked by a stone pillar which commemorates a pitched battle between English cattle raiders and their Scottish pursuers in medieval times.Aimed at intermediate level off-roaders, it speeds through trees and moorland in what is which, quite literally, the middle of nowhere....
