Southern Upland Way 6: Wanlockhead to Beattock

Reaching the highest point and crossing the midpoint of the Way this is a significant stage. Much of the route is on high rolling hills - splendid terrain with good views - with a finish through less scenic dense forest.Terrain - Much of the route is on good paths and tracks, boggy in places with some steep sections. In the forests there is some very rough and wet ground. On the high ground care is needed with navigation, especially in mist.Grade 3Distance 31.25km (19.4 miles)Ascent 1005m (3297ft)
