From the forest track start in Black Andrew Wood at NT 41524 29573. Took the Duchess's Drive route through the spruce forest up onto the open moor, then all the way to the closest spot to the HP. A short heather bash brought me to this - marked by a single stone. Then took grassy track down to Fastheugh Farm, and back through Black Andrew Wood to the car. Grey and cloudy, but with no rain. Cold NW wind.
