From Goldscleugh. Took the RoW up the Lambden Valley, through a stand of pine trees, then up to the col between the two hills. Followed a path SE by the fence up to the summit of Broadhope Hill first. Then retuned to the col for an initial steeper ascent up to the top of Preston Hill. Then headed NW to a wind shelter, and pathless down to join a track back to Goldscleugh. Then took the lane down to Coldburn. Solo. Hot & sunny, with a light westerly breeze.
