Ruined Stone Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

This seems to be from medieval times. I stopped and looked around to ask someone what the building was, but no one was around.

Gravel Climb

Highlight • Climb

Initial climbing wasn't to bad. The surface was a fairly new, compacy hardcore gravel one

4.97 km

Path to The Scrape Summit

Highlight • Trail

Not for the faint hearted or lazy riders.
You have to keep clearing your jockey wheels from clumps of heather stuck in them.

Scree Descent

Highlight • Climb

The downhill initially is mainly scree. Be careful, constant use of brakes is essential to keep speed under control. The bike tends to try to drift sidewards at times with higher speed.

Valley Path with Scenic View

Highlight • Trail

Further descending, back to a height where nicer vegetation grows. The surface is fairly compact grass, it allows for a slight rest after a gruelling climb earlier.

This field had maybe 25 deer in a fairly tight pack. It was not easy to get a decent, clear photo whilst behind the trees
