Overview

A slightly different walk round Portmore Reservoir, heading in the opposite direction and coming back through the woods. Fabulous views if weather is fair.

Mixture of farm, gravel and tarmac tracks with some field walking. 

Recommend long trousers as some walking on tracks bounded by heather.

Sticks helpful if wet.

Refreshments can be taken at The Scots Pine Cafe/Eddleston at end of walk.
