About this event
A good trail route taking us round a few of the East Pentland Hills starting from the Harlaw Reservoir car-park.

Combination of good walking tracks throughout the route,some sections can be muddy after wet weather.
We start from the car-park and head along to Capelaw Hill,it ascends gradually and opens up good views over the Pentland Hills and Edinburgh area.
Drop down from there and another ascent to reach Allermuir Hill,another fine viewpoint to enjoy.
Our last hill is Castlelaw Hill which is reached by a pathway .From there we drop steeply to Glencorse Reservoir and pick up another trail and return to the start point.
