I've walked that section of the SUW a few years back there is a brillinat bothy halfway along. My mates were walking to the end but I was only doing the weekend so i carried a full curry including starters for 3, 2 litres of port and cheeses.

Thought it would make a good ride especially the bit in the photo above

I used to walk it, and many of the places around there, before I was into cycling, 25 years ago
From Loch Fell, on a good day, you could see the power station on the Solway Firth, 60 miles away

"fairly fit and got good bike skills ." Not a lot of skill required, more stamina
