About

Cross Country Route

This is a classic cross country route figure of eight with two challenging climbs. By the time you’ve reached the bottom of these descents you’ll be looking forward to going back up again just so that you can do it all again.

A tough but rewarding route takes you high up into the hills overlooking the north-west of the Island. Enjoy the views from Slieau Curn having climbed the Baltic Road and topping up on adrenalin on the fire roads in Ballaugh Plantation.

This scenic route starts and finishes at Glen Wyllin campsite just south of Kirk Michael village on the Peel coast road.
