A fairly committing but generally enjoyable route. A mixture of farm/estate track and hill path, all of varying quality. Probably some hike-a-bike regardless of what bike you have. Has a river crossing towards the end that meant I had to shoulder the bike and go for a wee paddle. Probably better in the summer.
