Definitely a nice road Noggy, but I didn't get to enjoy it at it's best today. Not only was it a bit damp and drizzly in places today, but all through Moffat and for some distance along the 701 there was loads of diesel on the road - the fumes were choking. So I had to treat much of it like an ice rink. On the other hand, going easy when on a road like that for the first time is no bad thing I suppose.
Sinto, yes, that little link of the A72 was pretty good too, but the best of today's ride was definitely through the hills. The 702 is quite challenging there; lot's of little blind crests that hide sudden twists in direction, you have to be on your guard first time you do that bit, so again, probably just as well that I took it fairly easy.
