Overview

A moderately challenging walk which takes in Harlaw and Threipmuir reservoirs, followed by the ascent of Black Hill and Gask Hill.

The return to the car park is by way of Glencorse Reservoir and Maiden's Cleugh.

Mainly good paths and tracks but there may be some softer ground on the hills.
