Tight parking for one on rough ground just before the bridge on the private road to Sundhope (do not block access to the grassy track), NT338256. No waymarkers to help you through the maze of buildings, keep to the true L bank of the burn to use the hidden gate to escape the fenced in area. Fell path towards Ettrickbridge to col, then intermittent ATV tracks along ridge to Sundhope Height, Scar Hill, Black Knowe Head and Eldinhope Middle Hill, then down into the Sundhope Burn valley and a route through the pastures within which hillocks prevent one from seeing where the next gate liesIsbjorn19/04/2023
