down the mennock

A wee run down the Mennock Pass, Dumfries and Galloway (part of the Southern Uplands). From the high point over Wanlockhead at Glengonnar Station down the B797 to join the A76 just East of Mennock, this run takes in a drop of about 340m - 1115 feet, over a distance of 7.3 miles; in just 3 minutes and 32 seconds. That's equivalent to 124mph. Even at that speed, there's time to take in breath-taking scenery along with the ubiquitous sheep and potholes.
This video was produced using a fixed car-cam mounted on the passenger side of the dashboard. The original HD720 video has been edited to increase speed by a factor of just over 4; I didn't really go that fast. No sound so any offers of an original sound track would be welcome; or you can always add sound yourself.
With all the twists and turns, this is a bit of a roller-coaster ride so make sure you hold on to your dinner....
No sheep were harmed in the making of this motion picture.
