The first half of the walk is along low level Pentland fields and Woods.
The second half is  up the path behind Swanston Golf Clourse and woods. It is a moderate climb C+ . The path flattens out and goes along as far as the ski slope. We descend to the road at The Steading, a short road walk before returning to Swanston Golf Clubhouse along a path.
