Overview

Starting by West Linton golf course, we head  towards Dolphinton on a good track and then start our climb up Mendick Hill. Although not very high, the path is steep and relentless but short. Great views from the top before we descend on an ATV track onto the Pentland Way which we follow to Dolphinton.  From there, we  head back on good tracks towards the golf course taking in North Muir Hill. Due to the very rough terrain up the hill, there will be an option to stay on the good tracks rather than go up the hill.
