From the phone box at Yarrowford we will follow the path known as the Minchmoor Road. The path climbs gently with expansive views out across the rolling hills. Eventually we will reach a junction with the Southern Upland Way. At this point we will leave the Minchmoor and continue towards Yair via Brown Knowe and Broomy Law. We will cross the wall via a stile and descend towards a small wooded area. After crossing several burns via a bridge we head down towards a house, which is now privately owned but used to be the Youth Hostel. We follow the path down to emerge at the road at our starting point.
