Overview

Starting from the Bridge of Tilt car park, we cycle up the estate track towards our hill. It’s a good cycle route ride-able by a hybrid or mountain bike. We follow the river for about 8km. We’ll have a break here before heading up the hill. Weather permitting, we will have excellent views from the summit. We can return the same way (5km walk) or contour around the ridge before heading back to the bikes. The return is via the same route and is definitely easier on the way back to the cars.

Pre-registration is essential for this bike/hike to allow bike transportation to be arranged in advance. Please email demackie74@gmail.com at least 5 days before the walk. N.B. Bikes may be packed the day before.
