Beautiful climb that forms the link between the Ettrick and Yarrow Valleys. Unfortunately, the quality of the asphalt is poor although when climbing at 8% you don't suffer much. So better climb from Yarrow Valley and descend to the Ettrick Valley, where the asphalt is perfect (N->Z). Car-free, but watch out for sheep on the road.... read more

Beautiful climb that forms the link between the Ettrick and Yarrow Valleys. Unfortunately, the quality of the asphalt is poor although when climbing at 8% you don't suffer much.

Prachtige klim die de schakel vormt tussen de Ettrick en Yarrow Valleys. De kwaliteit van het asfalt is helaas matig al heb je daar bij het klimmen a 8% niet heel veel last van. Beter dus klimmen vanuit Yarrow Valley en afdalen naar de Ettrick Valley, waar het asfalt perfect is (N->Z). Autoluw, wel opletten voor schapen op de weg.
