Ascent
 

The route starts by crossing the Clachaneasy bridge over the river Cree and follows the Southern Upland Way as far as the Brigton oakwoods and then crosses over to the bridge where the Minnoch tumbles through a rocky gorge. We then follow the fishermans path up the east side of the Minnoch, famous in Dorothy L Sayers book The Five Red Herrings. You need to pay attention here as your observational skills will soon be tested by your walk leader. The walk rejoins the Southern Upland Way and continues to the old Caldons campsite from whence we follow forestry paths back to the Stroan bridge visitor centre for refreshments.
