16.9k (10.5 miles) with approx. 1042m (3404 ft) climb; Approx. 6 hours
This is a big walk for those with the fitness & stamina to complete a long day in the hills. The route is by bus to Carrifran where we ascend via the ridge to Carrifran Gans and onto Coombe Craig and the summit of White Coombe, then descend to Lochcraig Head and on to Hartfell Summit.
From Hartfell the route follows that of walk 2 for 2 miles back to Annan Water hall for well earned refreshments including a barbecue.

It is intended to be a haven for a rich array of native Scottish plants and animals excluded for centuries from these hills."
