Leave the tarmac to the right at this barrier, climb up to the quarry for the down hill run, this is quite a push.
Enjoy the upper downhill section but fork right where the going is flatter, more parallel to the tarmac road.
You will cross this little ditch bridge and should go left immediately after it beside the burn on a terraced track eventually on to the tarmac road and down to the main Largs road cycle track.
