Standing at 549m above Innerleithen this is a great peak to run to. You can carry on along the ridge and make a great loop across the moors or drop back down on either side to loop back down the valley.

Great natural trails, some tough climbs and some great descents. Fantastic views from the tops. Best done during a dry spell.
