Mountain biking

The descent off the top of Meikle Bin heading south is great fun. However as it enters the woods it becomes incredibly boggy and fairly unrideable - and that was having ridden it in August. Worth doing, but try to do it after a dry spell!

Mountain biking

South descent from Meikle Bin is fair to wet until you reach the woods where it becomes unrideable. The mud is axle deep in places and covers the width of the trail. There alternatives through the trees if you're happy fighting branches and slippy under foot...wish I'd taken the other route down. I'll avoid this one.

Hiking

Meikle Bin at 570m is a great viewpoint within the Carron Valley Forest. It's a great summit that looks pointy and mountainous but it's not too hard and is popular with families. There is a trig point on top.
