Description
Starts just off Cornish Point Road and heads up a gravel road for the first wee while. Before dropping down into a gully you veer right onto the DOC track proper and head up the hill. You keep heading up the hill following the farm track, then you head up the hill some more. You eventually get to the top of the hill (Cairnmuir Hill), then you have earned the lovely downhill run back to the car.
