Meet at Brinscal Swimming baths carpark for an 8 am prompt start. latest finish expected 11 am.

Non yappy dogs welcome, but must be on leads on the moorland where there is livestock.

This is a moderate  6.5 mile circular walk through moorland, woodland and well established paths, with a gradual climb up to Great Hill (381 m). The paths are well established, with some exposed tree roots, and stones. if it is wet it maybe muddy and slippy in parts. walking poles useful.
