Spokes Biking through Ministry of Defence land with the Pentland Hills Regional Park, requires particular care as military training and live firing can take place at any time. They state: "Live firing is restricted to the Live Firing Range at Castlelaw. The primary land use is for military dry training (i.e. use of blank ammunition). Red flags (daytime) and lamps (night-time) are flown/shown when firing is taking place and walkers are not allowed into this Danger Area." This advice may also apply to mountain bikers and we advise you check posted notices on site. Check out the Ministry of Defence website for more information. |
