| Parking at start of private road to Leithen Lodge (NT329423). There is an ATV track goes SE from the metal bridge, but it crosses the Leithen Water at a more-than-boot-deep FORD. The first FB N of the metal bridge leads only to An Tx which can be linked to zig-zag up and SE to intercept the former ATV track along Woolhope Bank. High up at a green fork, go R, or else you’ll be in deep heather, to the top of Clog Knowe. Down and up to Black Knowe and on to Lee Pen.
