MILLFORE AND DRIGMORN (Replacement for the Bike and Hike route)

We start from Craigencallie, a former outdoor centre and head towards Loch Dee. We then take make our way to the top of Cairngarroch.

The hill part of the day is wild and remote with the likelihood of sections of wet ground but with no technical difficulties. The route follows a natural line to Millfore, the highest point at 656 metres, to Drigmorn Hill and down the ridge to Drigmorn farm. The top of Millfore gives an excellent view towards Newton Stewart and the whaleback of Cairnsmore of Fleet with the chance to have a completely different aspect of the coires of Larg and Lamachan and the craggy aspect of Curleywee.

The white Lochan of Drigmorn, the setting of many a curling bonspiel in colder times, is also visible. The route over Drigmorn Hill to Drigmorn is a little rough but straightforward and this leads to a forest road and Auchinleck where the party will be picked up and returned to Newton Stewart.
