As of 2021 the gate at the east/Cardross end has a big new kissing gate which you can fit bikes through!
Awgrimley
Awesome views and a good workout on a clear fire road. Last gate at Cardross has been extended upwards by atleast 3 feet and padlocked prevent access. I had to basically throw my bike over the side and climb over.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
