From Linhope Farm a good track follows the Linhope Burn for one mile, and then the route climbs steeply on rough ground to reach Tudhope Hill 599mtrs. From there we head north over rough open moorland to Skelfhill Pen 532mtrs. (Both hills have extensive views). After a short section of forest track the route turns back onto lower undulating ground via the Phaup Burn back to Linhope to rejoin the bus. This section is part of the route taken by the Cornet & his followers on their annual ride to Mosspaul. Sponsor: Mosspaul Hotel
