Plenty gravel on the descent to Otter Ferry when young Mul and I did it last month. Worth keeping canny (and avoid blowing your nose).

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted June 18, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 There are a number of c class roads around the country, but I couldn't find a c1-10 on a quick search. I think the current classification method dates back to the 1930's, which is even before Charlie's and my time. https://www.roads.org.uk/articles/road-numbers/how-it-happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a good road. Best climbed from the west side, which is the poorer surface, then you can descend on better tarmac to North Third. There's so little traffic up there, the sheep run away from the roadside as soon as they see you! charlie p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
