In reply to DaveHK:
It’s an odd one isn’t it, it’s tolerated but not welcomed (no signs) and for how long? If dozens of cars regularly parked up (yes I have seen it busy) it would probably get stopped quiet quickly, as the risk of impacting estate or forestry activities would be far higher. So it only works if it’s not widely used, what is the tipping point?
There are very few other spots in Scotland where you can and it is informally tolerated, to drive on estate tracks. But there is in one case where you can go km’s, but it always feels ‘wrong’, and generally you needed very good local knowledge pre internet, to be aware.
I’ve always been very cautious but I noted on the longest one I know, that at New Year it had been driven to the point of being very icy, so many folks appear happy to risk not only getting stuck/sliding off and having no recovery or insurance, but also to risk the estate toleration should they end up blocking the track.
