Our chosen route takes the less familiar path from Knockgray to the summit via the Black Shoulder.

We descend to the Nick of the Lochans before a visit to the remote ‘Blue Peter’ Spitfire crash site. The intriguing history attached to this site will be narrated by the walk leader.

Thereafter, a track twists down towards Moorbrock and our pick-up at Craigengillan.
