This is an alternative route up to Kilmannan Reservoir which links with Burncrooks Reservoir and the John Muir Way. This is a more interesting climb than following the John Muir Way which climbs up to Burncrooks mostly on tarmac. This segment is a great gravel road, built for forestry, that climbs up through the woods to the reservoirs and is definitely more scenic.

The climb is a well drained fireroad with no chuky rocks therefore suitable for a gravel bike.
