Overview

A circuit in the Pentlands starting from Harlaw car park and taking in Harbour Hill, Capelaw, Allermuir, and Castlelaw. We descend from there and after a brief stretch of road walking we head back over Harbour Hill and return to the car park.
Other than the short road walk, this circuit is on good hill tracks.
The walk will be at the leader’s usual slow pace !
