Lovely little cafe with compostable toilet! You can sit inside (which was lovely and warm) or outside - they did have a wasp problem but were actively trying to distract them from the customers!

This section runs adjacent to a small burn. There were maybe 20 people at different points along this pass, it is popular with dog walkers. There are quite a lot of walk boards that are elevated where you will need to dismount and lift the bike over
