Dunno if you've been up there lately but we've been met with padlocked gates, chain cross the road and locals that will call the police envoking the wrath of God on you! It's no longer a right of way, the last green lane in Scotland and it is no more.
If you do manage to access the lane I'd like to know as I've ridden it before and would love to do it again.

Group of us going to Scotland form Leicester area June 4th to 11th. Dumfries 1st stop. then west coast to catch ferry to Dunoon and onto Fort William. We stay there for 3 days for ride-outs. Then it across and down Cairgorms to Kenmore near Pitlochry. Then to Kielder and finally home.

Lots of good advice and places to go. If the weather is dry go to the west coast. Try Fort William to Mallaig - ferry over to Skye - Applecross - Ullapool. If the weather is wet or very windy try the east coast but the roads will be a lot busier. Some of it is covered in my ride report M25ish to the Highlands. John
