Overview

This is an undulating circular walk going round Cairnoch Hill. We will NOT be climbing the hill. This will be on wide forestry tracks and some gravel tracks. Minimal road walking at the beginning to reach the forestry track.

The walk starts at Todholes car park where space is limited - maximum 7 cars. Booking is therefore essential (first come first served). Car sharing is encouraged to accommodate as many members as possible.
