Gala Water as you ascend. Follow the track for 1.5km until you reach a junction that looks over Torwoodlee Golf Course on your left. Take the rack to your right, with the golf course behind you, towards the farm buildings. - This track is set between fields looking over to Torwoodlee Mains on your left. When you reach the farm buildings follow the signs through the farm steading that lead you on to a well maintained track.
- You will have to go through several gates on this stretch so please leave them as you find them. Torwoodlee is a working farm so please be considerate when there are farm operations occurring at the time of your visit. Sections of this track may be muddy as the cattle and sheep have
feeding stations along this section. This track will lead you straight back to your starting point at Hillend.
