Craig Phadrig is a forested hill on the western edge of Inverness. It is the site of an ancient Pictish hill fort visible as an oval shaped mound at the top of the hill. There is a mix of wide tracks, narrow earth paths with some rocks and short steep slopes.
Easier courses (white, yellow and orange) have been planned so that young and less experienced competitors are well away from major crags.
