| We have walked this route several times over the years mainly to see what progress has been made with the Mountain Bothy at Greensykes. We left the car at Glendinning and walked up the Meggat Valley for a short distance and then headed up the Hairgrain Burn throught the forrest. Much of it has been felled since our last visit so it was a totally different walk with new views to take in. |
 |
| This is near the deserted cottage at Corlaw. It looks to have been deserted for a couple of years but there is an old Land Rover outside still in fairly good condition so maybe visitors are still coming now and again. This is an old bridge over the burn and looking further up the valley. |
 |
| The last time we walked this about 2 years ago this was all trees but has now been cleared and will eventually be replanted. |
 |
| It was a bit misty but in the distance you can see the deserted cottage at Corlaw |
 |
| John all geared up for bad weather but once again we were lucky and there was no rain. |
 |
| This part of the walk is through an old Scots Pine Forrest so these have been left as they were. |

| Greensykes Bothy with the Maintenance Officer for this bothy Michael Parker the tall guy in the middle. Both of these guys arrived yesterday and have spent all their daylight time putting in a new Wood Burning Stove and doing other basic repairs and painting to the Bothy. Michael comes from Lancaster and the other guy whose name I forget comes from Glasgow. The bothy is well used and attracts visitors from all over the country. |
