Overview

The first half of the walk is along low level Pentland fields and Woods.
The second half is up the path behind Swanston Golf Course and woods. The path flattens out and goes along as far as the ski slope. We descend to the road at The Steading, a short road walk before returning to Swanston Golf Clubhouse along a path.
Hopefully have tea/ coffee in the Clubhouse at the end.
