Had a really brilliant, if exhausting and quite chilly ride with Trekster today. I am not too sure if you could call this off-piste at Ae, but this loop can certainly be tacked on to the very north part of the red route for an epic day out if you wanted.
Here is near the start. We are going to cross the river in the far distance, go up one side of the valley, then we will come back on the right hand side.
Aye. Easy enough to drop down to that wee bridge at the T-junction when coming off Wee Queensberry. Shepherds are touring the hills(with shotguns!)so quad tracks may be getting bedded in again.
There is a “walk” marked on the OS map which goes up to the left nearer the end of Branburn Bash which could be substituted for the Wee Queensberry hike 💡
Next trip will be to find out where that road terminates, think I know, just got to prove it.
