I started from Priesthaugh farm and took the track to Priesthaugh-hill and followed the tree line and fenceline to the summit of Cauldcluech Head. There was no cairn here, just a fence post and half an old signpost. From here i again followed the fenceline and treeline to Greatmoor Hill. The fenceline is a good aid in bad weather, though visibility was good today, as long as you follow the right fence. From Greatmoor summit i retraced my steps back to Swire Knowe and took the second break in the forest which lead me to a track. Unfortunately the track ended and had to head down rough ground following a burn which brought me out at the house at Priesthaugh-hill. I was then on the track back to the start, with only some cows to negotiate before arriving back at the car.

Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
