Nice steady climb from Aberfoyle. The Highlands start here, so you drive into the Highlands, so to speak. Climb starts directly from the village. At the top, the landscape opens up, and you have great views of a number of lochs, and the typical Highland hills. At the top, you are rewarded with a nicely rolling road that eventually becomes the descent. Climbed in late May, in the morning bit of traffic. At the end of the road did this as a descent and then there was virtually no traffic.... read more

Mooie gelijkmatige klim vanuit Aberfoyle. De Highlands beginnen hier, dus je rijdt als het ware de Highlands in. Klim start direct vanuit het dorp. Bovenop opent het landschap zich, en heb je prachtig uitzicht op een aantal lochs, en de typische highland-heuvels. Schitterend landschap. Bovenop wordt je beloond met een mooi glooiende weg die uiteindelijk de afdaling wordt.
Eind mei beklommen, in de ochtend beetje verkeer. Aan het einde van de weg deze als afdaling gedaan en toen was er vrijwel geen verkeer.
