Overview

Due to the forecasted heavy showers which may possibly be thundery tomorrow afternoon, I have decided to offer an alternative shorter walk in the Pentlands. I plan to walk the following route from Boghall carpark. We will walk up Caerketton, Allermuir Hill, Capelaw Hill, Harbour Hill and Black Hill. I plan to drop down from Black Hill to walk along Loganlea & Glencorse Reservoirs. Weather permitting, I intend to walk up Castlelaw Hill and back to Boghall car park via Woodhouselee Hill. The original meeting time arrangements remain; 7:30 am at the West Port with a start time at Boghall car park for 8:00 am. Please could you text me on 07787 367 912 if you are interested in coming along so I have an idea of numbers.
