3 Sub 2k's from Broughton
Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2013 11:03 pm
Started the walk from the parking area at Broughton Place which is part of The John Buchan Way. I left the John Buchan Way once through the gate and headed up to the ridge that curves round to Trahenna Hill. From the summit i retraced my steps for a bit then went over 537 top and headed for Hog Knowe before heading down to cross the track at the foot of Penvalla. Here it was a steep climb up to Penvalla. Penvalla has no summit cairn, only a couple or rocks to mark the summit. From its summit i made my way towards Ladyurd Hill, leaving it just before the climb to head for the tree line to Flint Hill. I then followed the fence and tree line over Brown Dod and upto the ridge just short of Wetherv Law and onto the summit of Broughton Heights. I had lunch at the trig point before following the track over Green Law and back down to the John Buchan Way back to the start. The walk had paths and Quad tracks for most of the way round making for good walking round a nice wee circuit. I returned to the car 4hrs 15mins after setting off.
