The Bad
News
The Bicyclemania trailfinders took on the
'Justice Trail' in August 2008 and
reported back that sadly quite a few
sections of the trail has become
un-ridable due to the total lack of trail
maintenance. It's a big same that a lot of
the 'North Shore' sections have
disappeared under a blanket of
undergrowth, making it dangerous to
attempt to ride. |

The info:
The Justice Trail mountain bike route is
located on the hills above and around the the
Scottish border Town of Jedburgh, on the A-68
between Hawick and Kelso.
The
project was inspired a few years ago by local
mountain biker, Tom Miller who saw the
potential to create waymarked trails around
Jedburgh. He approached Jedburgh Community
Council with his idea. An initial route was
drawn up by Pete Laing. At that point, plans
were already underway to create a circular
horse route and so it was decided to join
forces and create a multi user network. In
2002, Tony and Susan Yates who run 'The Rush'
bike shop in Jedburgh became involved in the
project. Over £100,000 in funding was secured
from Leader+, Rural Challenge Fund, Jedburgh
Common Good Fund, CERS, Forestry Commission
Scotland and Scottish Borders Council. The
first step was gaining the support of local
landowners who were positive about waymarked
routes going across their land and Jedforest
Trails would like to thank them for their
continued support. |
