Based in the Scottish Borders, Eildon Ramblers is a friendlywalking group for people of all ages. We offer year-round walks to suit avariety of tastes.
We walk down easy tracks in the Yett valley before a steep climb to the abandoned farmhouse at Peelinick. From there we follow an easy track towards Buchtrig Farm, taking lunch at the spectacular Moat Knowe hillfort.
From Buchtrig we walk on tracks and some open country along Humblemoor Hill and The Hows, a fine ridge above the Kale Valley, before dropping down to Greenhill.
Circular walk, grade B, moderate/strenuous. Hiking boots and poles are recommended.
Walk leader: Murray
Estimated duration: 4 hours
