Dalwhinnieの峠・トップ9

The pass itself isn't particularly strenuous, but it's very open and can get very windy. The cycle path is also a patchwork of different roads.

Super smooth downhill glide on excellent asphalt from the Pass of Drumochter to Dalwhinnie. Watch out for the many bridges and occasional sharpish zig-zag when zooming along.

The Pass of Drumochter has a fairly big layby that's safely separate from the main road - a good place to drop off/pick up if required; the NCN 7 runs adjacent to the layby. Even better, the NCN 7 with its super smooth asphalt surface is downhill both ways from this high point.

A great achievement to get here after a very long and gradual climb. A very disappointing sign at the summit though!

Drumochter Summit is a mountain pass on NCN 7, the highest point on the National Cycle Network in Scotland standing at an elevation of approximately 1,509 feet (460 m) above sea level. The summit can experience harsh winter conditions, with snow and icy roads being common, posing challenges for cyclists when passing through. Despite these challenges, the pass offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Grampian and Monadhliath Mountains, an iconic Highland landscape.

Beinn Udlamain is one of the four munros in the Drumochter pass. The mountains in this area are open and heathery, rather than rocks and imposing. The summit stands at 1011 metres above sea-level.

You should take the chance when the weather is good here... I've passed this mountain several times, it was never without clouds
