Overview

This short Pentlands circuit is borderline B/B+ but should be suitable for most B walkers. We’ll follow the Red Road ( up towards the Kips) leaving this at the Red Gate for the final short ascent to the summit of Hare Hill. We will descent southeast to meet a path that will take us across to Green Cleugh. From there we’ll climb Black Hill followed by a very pleasant descent towards Logan Cottage. We will return via Loganlee Reservoir, Green Cleugh & Bavelaw. Mostly on good paths and tracks albeit a bit muddy at times.
