Yes, it pretty much covers the moorland in the area from Eaglesham to Fenwick and across to Strathaven. How far across it's going I don't know but it's a fairly large scale project.

It's big. The spur road that runs along its length is sixteen kilometres long, or ten miles.
I've been up there twice and because the tracks aren't marked on the maps yet, I was worried about getting off the hill before dark.

Is there vehicle access to the site or did you sneak in on foot?
