This doubletrack way was once a tarmacked road that's grown over, passing between Stab Hill and The Strannoch. Take care as you cross over Davenholme Burn, especially after heavy rainfall.

Old tarmac road that’s grassed over, super fun and passable if you’ve got slightly larger tyres.

The beginning of this track is quite overgrown on the edges and middle but there are runnels which are easily rideable on 28-32 mm tyres. The 'worst' part of the secteur comes about a kilometre from the end (heading W-E.). You have to go through a gate, if I recall correctly and even after a full couple days' sun the ground was very marshy/boggy underfoot. It's probably not an option to step off the track into the grassland either as I imagine that is a tick-fest. All in all, this is a fun little cut through though.
