A Pentland circuit from Torphin

Difficulty: Moderate
Distance: 10.5km / 6.5mi
Ascent: 291.5m / 956ft

A chance to try out your hill legs on 4 wee hills in the Northern Pentlands. Starting from Torphin we will cross farmland, woodland and moorland to reach the splendid summit plateau of Capelaw which offers fine views all round on a good viewing day.
