Pentland Challenge

Join us on Saturday October 5 for the Pentland Hills Challenge. Take on The Magnificent Seven hills through Turnhouse, Carnethy, Scald law, South Black Hill, East Kip, West Kip and Black Hill on an 11-mile guided circular route, ascending up to 1,000 metres. This is a fantastic day hiking in the Pentland hills with terrific views, great scenery, and some challenging terrain. There is also the option of a shorter 7-mile hike available.

Start and finish is at the Flotterstone car park, not far from Edinburgh, just off the A702 approximately 30 minutes from the city centre. The route is hilly to start, climbing up Turnhouse Hill, before following the rise and fall of some of the Pentland’s main hills before dropping down to a reservoir for the final few kilometres. Although you’re only a few miles from Edinburgh it feels a world away!
