Overview

A relatively short ridge walk, a steep upward and downward climb with stunning views. Halfway along the ridge towards Hammerhead we head off to the right towards Trahenna.

We return to the ridge and continue to Hammerhead cairn.

Then we descend onto the John Buchan way and back to the Broughton village hall car park.
