I've a day off Friday and looking to try out a new route. I was thinking of the recent MBUK route at Inner's up the red route and over Minch Moor before joining the Southern Upland Way heading towards Selkirk. The route seems to head back to Innerleithen along minor roads which seems dull so I was thinking I'd have to head back the way I came and finish off on the bottom half of the Inners red route. Unless you can recommend an alternative second half to my route?

All suggestions appreciated!

that route is nice, along to the 3 brethren and back. Options off to the west side of the ridge down to the valley floor and back up, or on the East side round Yair forest.

Head to the three brethren (I assume that this is the MBUK route), keep on the SUW for a bit then turn off and head for the northern side of foulshiels hill. Descend down to Broadmeadows. Go through Yarrowford and then turn right back up to the top of minch moor. Then rejoin the red route. Saves you riding over stuff you've already done.

The paths marked on an OS map, so that would probably help you.

cheers folks,

I've ridden the Gypsy Glen before and loved it, the yarrowford Minch moor road option looks a winner! It's going to be a good day!
