    Tips

    Cycling

    Amazing road with a gradual climb. There's good tarmac on both tracks, but grass down the middle, like the roads on some of the west coast islands. Not to be missed, can be done on any bike (road or gravel), but it is a bit sketchy so be careful if going northwards and descending this section.

    This road is known locally as "The Crask Road" and is equally beautiful as it is brutal at times! If it's wet there will be a lot of water running down the roads, and the potholes around will vary depending on the last time it was redone. Be on the lookout for the Standing Stone in the valley as well!
