From the south it starts off as a nice wide gravel track, it then turns into a fun bit of single track at the top of the hill. After that the decent to the north gets pretty boggy and progress is slowed by a series of high stepped bridges.

Hiking

Here you'll traverse the Cauldstane Slap, a pass situated in the picturesque Pentland Hills of Scotland, serving as a boundary between the neighbouring council areas of West Lothian and Scottish Borders.

The route offers panoramic views of the Pentland Hills, a range known for its rolling hills, heather-covered moorlands, and picturesque valleys. You'll also encounter streams, waterfalls and reservoirs, and a wonderful display of blooming wildflowers if visiting in the spring months.
