A quiet mountain road with very little traffic. One of only two roads over the central Sperrins connecting the Glenelly valley with the Faughan Valley. A very punchy start followed by a breather before you hit high gradients again near the top. The road can be a little gravelly with some pot holes so take care if you are coming down this road. Fantastic views to the north into Derry and south into Tyrone.... read more

Beautiful scenery, challenging climb. Steep at the statr to let you know you're in for a proper one, eases off for a while, gets proper steep at the top.
Road surface OK on this side but a little bit rough.
If you're going on down to Park: glorious descent on a great surface, but you don't want to be approaching the *two* double-bend bridges at close on 50mph like I did
