Bennachie Forest from Bennachie Visitor Centre

At just 1.5km, Bennachie Forest from Bennachie Visitor Centre is short but deceptively intense — 74m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5% disguises ramps of 14.1% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Scotland, Scotland.
