Bridleway section, slow going with some pushing but trending down hill. Wild and open. Good place for a wild camp. Lovely bit of river too before joining gravel road to Garrigill. It's the bit on the GBDuro film where Lachlan Morton is completely fed up...

This "single-track' came up as part of a bike touring route. The reality is several km of tough hike a bike through deep peat-bog with several stream-crossings. At times the path is very eroded on steep banks making it hazardous with laden bikes.
Very tough but also very beautiful and remote. Approach though Garrigill also beautiful.
