I'll be in South Queensferry on sunday as i'm abseiling off the rail bridge, look out for a blue pointy parked up next to the Hawes Inn.

I believe so KG - just a long blast of motorway for me to get there.

That looks like a long and winding road.

I'd need company from the outset for that one though!

Haven't done that yet. Whats it like? Are the roads all broken a bit like the A811 and A809 in paces. SV is all over the place when roads are that bad.

Dukes pass is awesome but slow and twisty with bits of gravel thrown in. Seriously good fun though 2nd/3rd gear most of the way. I love it!!!

Haven't been up it this year yet, like any other road though, ride it as you see it.

You'd get on well with carelesschucca, he'd live there if he could.

Its a decent road to practice your observation, vanishing points, road position and cornering, if you ride within yourself and take it easy, its a little hairy if you treat it like knockhill.

Its also easily avoided if anyone uncomfortable with it.

Had a run over the Dukes last friday and the road is wrecked in a lot of places. Nasty gravel and potholes and rivers across the road.

Still always a challenge and enjoyable at any speed, and amazing views if you are just bopping along. It is plain rude to avoid it if you are in the area.
