Overview

We will meet at Kings Meadows car Park to share transport before driving to the starting point of the walk at Yair Bridge Car Park. From here we take a long gradual ascent on the Southern Upland Way towards Galashiels Policies. At this point we ascend the side of Gala Hill before dropping down to cross the A7 to the River Tweed. We take the path along the river back to our start point. 

The walk is in good paths and minor roads.

We will have a coffee stop and a lunch stop
