Throttled Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Had an explore and Abington to the A76 via Leadhills and Wanlockhead (B797) is a great road and climbhttp://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45873000/jpg/_45873849_d%26gfilms.jpghttp://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Abi ... 1&t=m&z=11The Mennock Pass down from Wanlockhead to the A76 is the best part, twisting, narrow and I saw people panning for gold in the river!http://gallery3.shippen.org.uk/var/resizes/scotsgeog/D_Mennock_Pass_gold_stream.jpg?m=1303665454The road surface is good, just watch for sheep.

Throttled Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 I want to investigate the little road to the north, the B740. Hopefully it is strewn with pot holes and rocks, just as I like them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent ninja Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 b740 also good road watch out for lorrys tho but you should have turned off at leadhills to your right onto b7040 then right again onto a702 ( dalvene pass) very good road lots of fun to be had then back up the a76 for some more twistys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
