Croft Head from Selcoth

Fionas: Croft Head
Donalds: Croft Head

Date walked: 27/01/2024

Time taken: 3.8 hours

Distance: 10km

Ascent: 650m

With T. Wanted to do this w/o having to go via Pot Burn.
Came across this route but mistakenly went straight up the side of the Selcoth Burn instead of going past the farmhouse and then up the gentler slopes. Lots of shooting going on at the farm also put us off going past it,

Tried instead to cross the Selcoth Burn, further upstream but too much water. Eventually got as far as the ford, still to much water but finally managed to cross a bit further upstream from the ford. Followed the path for a but then went straight up by the fence. Very steep but we made it. Next time though I would carry on round the corner and go up the zig-zags of the SUW. The zigzags were not marked on my OS25K at the time of writing,

Came down via the gentler slopes that we had intended going up. Lots of new tree planting with deer fences but gates through are easy enough to find and use.
