Castlelaw Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Gravel road that's rideable the whole way, take care as the gravel is quite large in places.

Tip by

6.34 km

Bonaly Reservoir

Highlight • Structure

A brilliant place to be on a sunny day. Can go swimming or paddle boarding if you want

Tip by

9.03 km

Harbour Hill Bypass Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Easier route round Harbour Hill, quite rough and muddy in places.

Tip by

10.4 km

Moor Access Path Climb, Pentland Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A useful way to access the Pentlands from Currie. Ideal for linking up with the final climb to the scalextric descent.

Tip by

12.7 km

View of the Pentland Hills Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quite a technical path that is appropriate slow gravel ride or mountain biking. But what a view!

Tip by

12.8 km

Maidens Cleugh Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Nice sustained rocky climb which can get muddy in winter

Tip by

15.0 km

It can get quite technical in certain parts of the trail and perhaps more suitable for mountain bikers in certain segments. But if you are going slow on gravel bike, you should be fine (that's what I did).
