Airth Golf Centre -> Kincardine Bridge

[andy]

For anybody who's used this road as a shortcut when the bridge traffic is heavy, but has avoided it lately because of the seroiusly nasty potholes that appeared over winter, it's been fully repaired. If you've never driven it, it's worth the short detour from the Bowtrees roundabout for a great blast on an empty single track road, just turn towards Airth off the M876 then right into the Golf Centre and put the foot down

It's flat land. Once you're round the first corner you can see to the hump-back bridge and anybody in-between.

Right, so I turn left at the roundabout and then take the first or the second right? And does that bring me out at the BP station or well before?

I'll have to give it a wee bash someday. Luckily I'm going north across the bridge in the morning and south at night, so it's usually against the nasty traffic.

Not first right as that takes you out well before the BP station. Keep going past Burgoynes garage and you'll see Airth Golf Driving Range on your right. Turn in there, but instead of turning into their car park just keep going. Once round the first corner you can see for a good distance - just beware theres a serious hump-back bridge just after the ruins on the left with a 90 degree right just after it! It eventually takes you out beyond the BP station, literally just before the bridge.
