Overview

A pleasant walk from Currie which takes in some four reservoirs, these being Clubbiedean, Torduff, Bonaly and Glencorse.

We start by way of Poet's Glen, continue via two reservoirs to the top of Torduff Hill and, after Bonaly Reservoir, our return path is by way of Phantom's Cleugh and Maiden's Cleugh

The uphill sections are fairly moderate and it is mainly good underfoot with very few sections that could be muddy.

Parking is at a small shopping centre next to the A70.  The Pentlands Medical Centre is also located there.

There is no fee and no time limit, but I suggest we try to minimise the number of cars in order to cause the minimum of disruption to regular users of the car park.
