South Bull Wall, cycleable?

Just wondering, can you cycle down the South Bull Wall? The weather's so nice out I think an afternoon spent relaxing looking at all the ships coming and going might be in order.

not unless you have some serious suspension on the bike

it's all long thin blocks of stone and very very uneven

May have to cycle down nearby and lock it up so, thanks

you'd walk the bike along with you ok.

don't forget you'll get a nosefull of that foul smell from the water treatment plant while cycling by too

Sounds delightful I'm sure the smell goes away the further down the wall you go?

only get it directly beside the plant while still on the tarmac part of the road. once get up to the actual wall itself your fine.

A to B is tarmac and grand

I see what you mean about it being a slight bone shaker on the old rothair alright

Smell wasn't too bad also

Fantastic spot to just chill for a few hours.

Yeah, its a great spot. Drove out there on a motorbike a few years ago, should be well cycleable
