It means low gears for a good while. 

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).

Unfortunately I think the C classification of roads may be regional as there is a C11 in Angus

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.

There is a cracking c road on way to carton bridge. You can see all of central Scotland from top. Mcginty and Montague were with me last time I went up

That is a great road with a westerly wind.

Ah, the day I tried to give us all a trip in an ambulance... :-/ No wonder you haven't been back!

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!
