No166 on the ‘Another 100 Climbs’ list, the start takes a bit to get going as you pass some houses and go through woodland but it soon opens up onto moorland where the real climbing begins. Great views and that final set up hairpins looks like a wall as you approach…. It’s 25％ and very tough!

We did it up and back down but I beleive if you head over the top and down the other side, you can hook up with some amazing forestry gravel roads that take you all the way along the loch to Glenfinnan.

Road surface was fresh chipping when I did it back in Summer 2021 and was absolutely fine with zero traffic.
