Forest Enterprise Scotland is alerting mountain bikers that the popular 7stanes red route at Newcastleton forest will be closed whilst urgent tree felling starts next week.
The blue biking route will remain open as with all the other walking trails found in the forest.
The felling is required to remove larch trees infected by Phytophthera Ramorum, a disease which is affecting the region and many parts of Scotland.
....
I expect the 7Stanes red cross country route to be closed for around two months whilst felling is in operation but I am glad to say the blue route is unaffected.

From press release.
