From Monument cp, up obvious path to Byres Hill. Monument was open so up 132 steps to top. Superb views. East to Skid Hill and it's Trig over BW fence. Clockwise and steeply down round quarry top to gate at road. Short walk up road to fp sign. Up Barney Hill skirting gorse to N.

From the Hopetoun Monument carpark to Byres Hill, then eastwards over a barbed fence to Skid Hill. Went down the southern quarry edge then along the B-road to spot height 158m, before which is a signpost and style to Barney Hill. continued along the Garleton Hills path to Barney Mains, Barnes Castle, turning north to Athelstaneford (reputed home of the Saltire) just prior to reaching the B1347. Once past the church and just out of the village there is a marked FP northwards on to an E-W track to Kilduff Hill, then a series of field edges and tracks brought us to Camptoun. Finally, along the minor road to the B1343, back over Byres Hill and down to the car as night arrived. 2.5hrs. | summitter | 27/12/2019 |
