We start at Durris Forest at the car park at NO807945 and initially take a forest track but soon join the Elsick Mounth path. We follow this to the edge of the forest and on to the Lang Stane, a standing stone with an inscription on it. From here we take the path up the hill to the wind farm, where it is possible to visit the summit of Meikle Carewe (266m, NO827920) and the trig point on Curlethney Hill (246m, NO839918). We then follow a path which descends to the Raedykes Roman camp, and pick up a minor road which we follow to the junction at NO838892. Here we rejoin the Elsick Mounth and follow it back to the starting point.
