    Tips

    April 10, 2025

    The Rest and Be Thankful climb from Cairndow is a steady Highland ascent, averaging 6% over 5 km with short ramps hitting 10%. The wide A83 road winds through dramatic glens, with smooth tarmac and open views making it as scenic as it is challenging. The gradient is mostly consistent, so find a comfortable rhythm early and hold your pace. Wind can be a factor in the exposed upper sections, but the effort is steady rather than brutal. Reaching the summit lives up to its name—offering a well-earned pause and sweeping views down the valley.
