Traffic free way to get down the Rest & Be Thankful. Great road surface. Fast descent.

Super smooth traffic-free descent, an alternative to the main road and also the gravel on the south side of the glen. There is a gate at the top and a couple down at the bottom to negotiate. The top gate does warn of agressive cows and suggests you find an alternative way down. You can see all the way down the glen from the top so if the cows aren't all over the road, you'll probably be OK.
