Ten Biggar Ramblers had a strenuous but scenically rewarding outing on Saturday 20th August just south of Broughton village. They ascended Pykestane hill from the hamlet of Drumelzeir. The special features of the 11 mile walk were the very pleasant lead-in along Drumelzeir Burn, the 3 mile ascent along well defined tracks all the way to the summit of Pykestane Hill and lovely views of the river Tweed during the descent. www.biggarramblers.org
