From Surrender Bridge, a circular route on bridleway below Barras End to Great Pinseat, then Melbecks Moor, before returning past Old Gang Smelting Mills. Footpaths on Melbecks Moor do exist on the ground, although the burnt and cut sections of heather do disguise them at times.	Fisky Boy	13/07/2016
