Overview

A challenging walk which considering daylight length and temperature will need to be walked at a fairly brisk pace.

Starting from just outside Kirk Yetholm, we follow the Pennine Way as it climbs from the Halter Burn. The walk takes in White Law, Steer Rig and Black Hag. We will then go to the Schil before taking the Low Pennine Way back to Kirk Yetholm.

There are stiles to climb and some steep ascents. Poles and boots recommended.
