Overview

A Moderate walk on grass path, hard-core forest tracks and tarred road.  From the car park, follow the path signposted Tap O' Noth, but when the path turns right, go straight on to reach a tarred road to North Merdrum farm.  The walk now is on hard-cored forest track to Finglenny and Boganclogh Lodge.  Further on there is a short distance of "heather bashing" to New Merdrum Farm, then return to the starting point by tarred farm road, the A941 and tarred road to the car park.
