You can see part of a road at the base of my photo this is known locally as "Electric Brae" or Croy Brae.
If you are driving down this hill you can take your foot of the pedal, go into neutral gear and the car will eventually stop on the hill, then it will very very slowing start to back up the hill, again you do not need to have your feet on any pedals, if you pour water onto the road then it will trickle uphill, again very slowing but definately going up hill. Cyclist have an easy time peddling up the hill.
There is a layby to pull in to for you to read the notice about this effect of the hill.
We have taken many folk out to this area over the years to let them experience the effect of the hill.

ReplyDeleteI grow these in my greenhouse!
It's an old variety of tomatoes that's been around for more than 60 years.
It's excellent and produces a heavy crop of fine flavoured tomatoes in the greenhouse or outside.
Some say there is no finer flavour.
I didn't know it was named after a mountain.
Beautiful area.
