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.

Mennock Pass Climb from Mennock

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

From the North a long but very steady climb to the top through Leadhills (which has a hotel with some facilities). The descent to Mennock through Wanlockhead is great; fairly wide and steady so for can ride fast with some confidence, although there are many potholes to watch out for and the surface can be loose and gravelly at times so there's a few bends to be wary of.
