Carlops to North Esk, Thursday 17th February 2016, leader John Hart

Thursday was a nice day for a short wintery hill walk. Seven members eslked from Carlops to North Esk reservoir, nestling in the Pentland Hills. The snow on the ground made for some stunning views. It was not too treacherous underfoot so a circular route was completed by climbing up the track from the reservoir to the saddle between Paties Hill and Spittal Hill then down onto the old Roman road back to Carlops and a light lunch in the Allan Ramsay Hotel.
