This walk follows the John Buchan Way from Stobo, up the Easton Burn. After reaching an old farm ruin and crossing the burn, the route leaves the John Buchan Way and heads around Tarcreish and down to the reservoir fed by the Hopehead Burn. The walk then follows the valley back down to Home Farm and the start of the walk.
This is an easy walk along well made wide tracks and so is suitable for a leisurely stroll and chatter. It is hoped to take an early lunch along the reservoir dam, reached by a short small path with some steps at the end - poles may be useful here.
