    OS78 Nithsdale. Follow Southern Upland Way.

    Are you staying in Wanlockhead?

    1)..Follow SupW all the way to Dumfries via Ae forest and get the train back to Sanquhar 😆

    2)..Climb the road up to the mast. Then turn off the road down a stony track. There are a couple of track taking you round ????? Lowther hill(the view point one on the map). Follow one of these on to the MEnnock road(76 up to Wanlock). Then pick up the farm track across Auchentaggart Moor to pick up the SupW. Take SupW back to Wanlockhead.

    3)…Another option is to start as above but when descending stoney track there is a gate on your left under the phone lines. Take this down the Enterkin Burn track to Dalveen. Then road to Drumlanrig. Through Drumlanrig and pick up the riverside trail back up to the A76. Cross 76 and ride back up road to Wanlockhead.

    Lots of options.

    When are you planning to ride?

    Cheers Trekster, I must get the OS and check it out. Not sure when I'll go, I live in Edinburgh and just fancy something different….might have to get it in soon before weather turns.

    Do you have any .jpgs from memory map etc?

    Na, just use the map. Just follow the black dotted lines 😀
    Could do you some grid refs tomorrow night, at work till 6am.
    I will try scanning, highlighting and see if I can mail you that.

    I am in Dumfries, work shifts, so we could meet some time?
