Started out through the suburbs, followed a John Buchan way sign which wasn't accurate, but managed to find it again later on. Trees were looking lovely around the schools rugby pitches, but I was soon heading through muddy green fields upward.

I entered the forest where there are plenty of paths - beware though, some of them jut loop back to where they started I did get on to a path which followed the ridge, and eventually came out of the forest into a felled area the top just a few hundred metres away. Bit of a dull hill really, but if I was going to visit the forts, might as well do the top as well.

I returned by the same route for a bit, before heading out to the grassy hillside. In the next col, there was supposedly a fort or settlement, but not much left, the next fort the same, but the last one was good, you could see the layout and I liked it Shame it was windy, and what a cold wind too! So I stopped at a sheepfold further down, where there was a good sitting rock.

Then I wound my way down to the tweed which I followed back to Peebles. Bonny trees and scenery for the most part, although there is a section along the railway which is a bit drab. Very muddy though
