Continue north-east down the steep path, crossing heathery ground and taking in the fabulous scenery. About halfway down cross the fence to pick up another path. With the fence and then a wall to your right, take to the final climb of the day. It is steep but short-lived, soon reaching a junction of walls and Newby Kipp’s 503m top. As the slopes drop steeply away on all sides Newby Kipps offers perhaps the most fulfilling (and unexpected) part of the day. A small outcrop of rock provides a truly exceptional vantage point, high above Glensax, with the views extending for miles across the gorgeous rolling landscape of the Borders.
