Overview

A hillwalk taking in The Nebit, Ben Ever, Ben Cleuch, Ben Buck and Craighorn. Ben Cleuch and Ben Buck are the highest and second highest of the Ochil Hills. There are some steep ascents and one relatively steep descent. Good grassy paths most of the way but boggy sections are likely. The walk is on exposed high ground for an extended period. Views are extensive, as expected from the highest points in Central Scotland.
