Hike over the moor to the cairn / old fort twice

The first time was on an evening which was overcast but clear views and a near gale force wind. We took the hard route up following the wall parallel to Cadmuir forest before dropping down onto the John Buchan way and left up to the summit. Returned back on the John Buchan Way to the Lodge.


















The second time we took the easier route of Cadmuir Forest up to the last gate in the wall then drop down to the John Buchan way before turning left and up to the Cairn / old fort. A lot less wind this time and sun

John Buchan Way - Stobo to Peebles Hike

We parked up in the small car park just off the road and had a 6.5 mile hike from Stobo to Peebles (lodge back gate) on a cool but mainly sunny morning. It was very wet and soft under foot in places. Some fantastic views along the way. It was quite easy to follow.

Cadmuir Forest / Moor hiking

Cadmuir Forest was right at the bottom of the lodge garden gate so we did the blue and the new red with some moor tracks as well. It is hilly to say the least. Enjoy and moor hiking photos soon.
