| Final hill of the day. From the top of Blackhope, followed the fence north-west until I reached the track then followed it to the top. Back to the car by heading straight down the hillside and towards Moorfoot farm passing many newborn lambs on the way. Then followed the path by the reservoir back to my car. | JAdair97 | 16/04/2022 |
| From Blackhope Fm entrance via Torphichen Hill, then back down to the glen past the farm. Easy going on grouse tracks mostly. | agentmancuso | 07/01/2017 |
