Is there a decent off road link from Teviothead through to Craik? Lots of dead end/nearly linked forest roads - sorry, gravel trails.

No direct route that I know of but on google satellite images between NT371063 and NT370066 the forest to the East of what looks to have been a fire break has been cleared so maybe 500m of carrying/pushing. I've not actually done it though.

What direction are you coming into Teviothead from?

Cheers Ray, Approaching from Wauchope way. The link you suggest is the best possibility I'd seen too. I'll just get off my lazy arse/keyboard and risk some adventure

Might be just as nice on the back roads via Stobs Castle way.

In that case I'd head to Newmill from Shankend and you can get across from there

Good suggestion from Shawn.

Cheers both
