    Tips

    Watch out for concrete channel at foot of descent - don’t hit it fast or hard if on road bike. A few metres before gate.

      It's a private road, but because it's Scotland you are allowed to cycle up it. Surfaced in long lasting high stone asphalt, about 30 years ago so a bit rough now, but pothole free, starting down at the a76 makes it one of the longest/highest road climbs in the UK.

        Worth the short pedal to slightly higher Green Lowther along good surface on the ridge. Not much drop and reascent.
